Match Technical Thumbs Up EP-1S For Leica M8/ M9/ M-MONOCHROM

Thumbs Up is an accessory thumb rest that enables you to hold your Leica M or Fuji X camera with improved balance, comfort, and security. You won't believe the difference that Thumbs Up makes! Your compositions will be more consistent, your photographs sharper; and the secure grip when holding your camera provides peace of mind. Thumbs Up users report being able to take hand-held shots at 1–2 stops slower shutter speeds.

Thumbs Up is manufactured to an exceptionally high standard, and is CNC machined from solid brass and hand polished. The final finish is a baked enamel that will perfectly match the color of your Leica or Fuji camera.

Simple, compact, and effective, Thumbs Up EP-1S embodies all the features of the original Thumbs Up model 1 design but with the addition of the EP ("ergonomic profile") thumb rest. In 2012 the Silicone Rubber insert has been added and now spans the entire width of the Thumbs Up. This serves to dampen vibration, provide a more stable contact with the camera body and better protect the Leica camera body.

The EP-1S thumb rest incorporates the well proven 22 degree beveled EP grip. This profile provides the most efficient shape to hold the camera more securely and more comfortably. The special EP profile substantially reduces grip pressure and therefore camera shake.
