Furniture dots? Pictures dots? Cat toys? > Searching on "rubber dot" doesn't find anything. The name on package is: "SURFACE PROTECTORS" they come in several sizes, but the 3/4" is the better for my hand size and shown in the 2 photographs. The other, 1/2" I tried first, but it didn't feel quite right so I peeled it off and replaced with the 3/4" This is the name of the company listed on the back of the package for a contact, I'm sure the rubber pads are easily available in the US as they are in Canada at the "Dollar Store." SYMAK SALES CO.,INC, PLATTSBURG, N.Y. 12901-O316 www.symaksales.com I hope this works in finding them as it makes a wonderful handling feel to the M8 & M9. cheers, ted > > -----Original Message----- > From: lug-bounces+bryanwi=bryanwi.com at leica-users.org > [mailto:lug-bounces+bryanwi=bryanwi.com at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of > tedgrant at shaw.ca > Sent: Saturday, 19 December, 2009 10:12 PM > To: Leica Users Group > Subject: [Leica] RUBBER THUMB GRIP M8 & M9 > > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/leicated/ted+grant/1a+-+RUBBER+THUMB+GR > IP+M8+.jpg.html > > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/leicated/ted+grant/thumb+stopper+grip+0 > 01.jpg.html > > Hi Crew, > > I came across these small rubber disks in a dollar store and they work > beautifully stuck to the back side of an M8 or M9. > > Now when you take camera in hand the right thumb has a simple rubber > grip > for a better hold on the camera body. > > And all for the enormous amout of $1.00! :-) 10 in a pack.
