KK,
Try this:
1. Place your left hand under the Leica - palm up.
2. The camera body should rest in the palm of your hand.
3. Your forefinger should be extended and touching the aperture
ring.
4. Your thumb and "social finger" ( yeah, the Bird ! ) should
be grasping the focusing ring.
Now you know why so many old time Leica shooters decry the
loss of the tab on the focusing ring.
5. Your right hand should wrap around the right side of the
Leica with your forefinger on the shutter release.
6. Now rotate the camera clockwise for a vertical.
7. The right side of the camera should be in the palm of your
right hand with your thumb on the shutter release.
8. Your left hand should be gripping the Leica in a similar
fashion as before, but now with your left thumb on the back.
I really need to find a way to convince you to buy a copy of
the 15th ed. of the Leica Manual.
All the best
