Shoot for longer with added comfort and stability by using the silver Match Technical CSEP-10S Thumbs Up Grip for Leica M240 M262 Silverfrom Match Technical CSEP-10S Thumbs Up Grip for Leica M240 M262 Silveron your Leica M (Typ 240), M-P (Typ 240), M Monochrom (Typ 246), M (Typ 262), M-D (Typ 262), or M-A (Typ 127) Rangefinder Camera. It slides easily into the camera's hot shoe and provides users with a 23° 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 an integral cold shoe that is 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. 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.

As this camera, the XF-10 does not even have an accessory shoe. This would not mount, and could not be used.Thank you for trying to keep it as accurate, as you have. :-)

A: Yes.

Q: 2. What is the difference between this and the flat top version, other than visually one being flatter?

A: This version can be locked in place preventing it from coming out. The other flat top version is just slides into the shoe.

Q: 3. Is it for M10-P too?

A: Yes. It will work the same way.

Q: 4. can you still use the digital zoom button that controls AEL?AFL ?

A: Yes, you will have full access to the Zoom / Lock button on your Leica Q2 Digital Camera.

Q: 5. I need it for Leica Monochrom 246 is it fit ?

A: It is not supposed to. This is intended only for the Leica M10.

Q: 6. Would this work with the M 11?

A: Yes, the Match Technical EP-MX-F Thumbs Up Grip for Leica M10 (Silver) works on the Leica M11.

Q: 7. does this have a rubber seal so it doesn't scratch the camera where it rubs against?

A: There is no rubber seal. The thumb grip attaches securely into the flash shoe and does not have any loose/sloppy tolerance. The aluminum thumb hook/rest stays about 1mm off the camera body, never touching it.

Q: 8. I see the indentation that provides access to the left wheel on top of the CL, but how is your experience with that? How difficult is it to access and turn the left wheel on top of the CL?

A: While your experience may depend on the size of your thumb and/or your hands, I have not found an issue reaching or accessing the rear control wheel while using the Match Technical EP-CL Thumbs Up Grip for Leica CL Camera.

Q: 9. HI! I have a Thumbs Up Grip for my Leica M10 which is awesome. But I can't use an external viewfinder when the Thumbs Up in on. Does exist a version for the M10 with a free cold shoe? (Like the one above for the M type 240) ... Thank you!

A: No

Q: 10. I think I know the answer, but will the leather Fuji case fit with the grip on?

A: Ive not tried it. Mine never goes in the case.

[Brass, Rubber] In reading reviews for this vs the Leica model, I agree that the small angle of the the thumb rest (which the Leica model is not supposed to have), makes a big difference for comfort and handling. I don't know why I waiting so long to get the Match Tech model. From the photo, you can see the angle I'm referring to. 5

[0.24 lb] This makes photographing with the Leica so much more comfortable. I am not sure why Leica doesn't just increase the size of the thumb grip already on the body. The problem with the Thumbs Up Grip is it slides into the hot shoe making it impossible to use the Vizoflex. 5

[0.24 lb] I've used rangefinder cameras for many years without utilizing one of these thumbs up grips. These always struck me as a waste of money. After using this on my M10-R for a few days, I'm sold. It just makes holding the camera so much more pleasing. Makes you want to hold the camera all day even when you're not shooting. 5

[0.24 lb] One of the most critical accessories you can by for any Leica camera. 5

[0.24 lb] I've used one of these on the M240, M262 and now the M10-P and I think it's the single best thing you can buy for your camera. It makes the body much easier to hold/keep still. I've found I can hand hold at 1/30 consistently with the Thumbs Up on the camera, sometimes even 1/15. Leica got hip to it a couple years ago and started to make their own version for the M10, I had that one too. Theirs is more square, not as ergonomically sound, and $100 more expensive. The only thing the Leica version does better is it's shaped so you can fully read the "LEICA CAMERA MADE IN GERMANY", that the Match partially covers, on the back of the top plate. That's not a major concern for me. If trying to decide between the two the Match is much better in the hand. I've read some complaints about the paint wearing off. That's true, but it just reveals the brass beneath, which is even better as far as I'm concerned. Like breaking in a great pair of jeans. The black doesn't exactly match the black chrome of the M10-P, but neither do black Leica lenses and again, who cares? 5

[Brass, Rubber] Initially skeptical but now can't imagine the camera without the Thumbs Up grip - I carry my M10 in a shoulder bag as I am not a big fan of walking around with the camera dangling from my neck. The Thumbs Up gives me such a secure feeling when handling the camera - I might think about switching from a neck strap to a wrist strap for added insurance, but walking with the camera in one hand no longer feels foolish. I honestly think for the price of the M10 one of these should be included in every purchase! 5
