Shoot for longer with added comfort and stability by using the silver CSEP-4S Thumbs Up Grip from match Technical on a Leica M Series Rangefinder Camera. This model is compatible with many digital and film M bodies from the M2 up to the M9 and including the M-A. It slides easily into the camera's hot shoe and provides users with a 22° beveled Ergonomic Profile (EP) grip that is located in the ideal place for resting your thumb. This setup helps you get a more secure grip over your camera and makes it easier to hold your camera steady, resulting in sharper images. This version also has two integral cold shoes that are perfect for attaching other accessories, such as a viewfinder or bubble level. A bonus of the Thumbs Up is a design aesthetic matched perfectly to the camera, making it appear as though it naturally belongs to the system and ensuring that it will not block access to any controls. There is also a locking mechanism that prevents the grip from moving or shifting during use. Additionally, it benefits from a solid brass construction with a baked enamel finish and uses a silicone rubber insert to prevent vibrations and have a more secure fit.

Q: 1. Does the EP-SL2 put any unnecessary torque on the hot-shoe when a heavy zoom lens is mounted to the camera?

Q: 10. could this fit a fuji xt3?
