Doesn't everyone know this? Place the thumb of your right hand high on the camera back, where it can reach the advance lever; cradle the right side of the body with your right palm and last two fingers; brace the front of the right side of the body with your first two right fingers. Cradle the left corner of the camera with the palm of your left hand, leaving the first three fingers free for focusing and aperture control. Is that the Leica grip everyone's asking about? :-) > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Austin > Franklin > Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2000 11:59 AM > To: 'leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us' > Subject: RE: [Leica] Anyone using the Leica Handgrip M? > > > > Agree with the winder and metering, but the grip is very > useful, especially > > with larger lenses such as the 90 AA and Noctilux.
