Combined with Tom's soft release, the M-Grip has lowered my hand-held shutter speeds and feels a little more ergonimically secure in my hands. Someone described the tacile feeling of the M being just somehow "right". With the addition of the grip i now have a greater idea of this than i did before. Has anyone else had similar experiences with the grip? Agreed. I use my M6HM with the gripe and also with the Tom A. softy ( my cherished burgundy Kina LUG collectible). The is a sure and steady combination and low shutter speeds do not daunt me any more. It eludes me though why Leica has made the upper part of the grip out of plastic. But never mind, it does serve its purpose! Sander van Hulsenbeek Amsterdam, Holland
