Shoot for longer with added comfort and stability by using the black EP-1S 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 offers a shorter design for enhanced comfort for some users. 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. 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: 8. Does the EP-SL2 put any unnecessary torque on the hot-shoe when a heavy zoom lens is mounted to the camera?

A: The Match Technical EP-SL2 Thumbs Up Grip for Leica SL2 (Black) works as a grip when holding the camera up to capture photos, which should not create tension on the hot shoe. When idly carrying the camera, your hand should be on the hand grip of the body.

Q: 9. How do I make this fit around the M2's bulb sync port? It is directly below the cold shoe and the only way I can think to do it is remove the rubber strip, but even then, it still does not fit all the way into the cold shoe mount, not to mention no longer protecting the finish on the top cover. Any suggestions?

A: Unfortunately the Match Technical EP-1S is not compatible with the Leica M2.

Q: 10. I see the indentation that allows access to the left wheel for your thumb, but in actual use, is access hindered?
