An alternative is the "Thumbie" by Steve Barnett -

I moved from a TU to this and find it more comfortable, also cheaper (40UKP
+ P&P I think). It may look fragile (it is solid brass) but mine has been on
for over a year with no issues and that is using some of the heaviest lenses
for M.

Might find one on eBay or talk to Steve directly barnet at globalnet.co.uk

I just visited the Match Technical site, and they list no Thumbs Up with a
hot shoe, so the question remains. If using a Thumbs Up, how to trigger a
flash without a PC socket? I like my Thumbs Up, but would probably get one
with a hot shoe if available. Although, they don't come cheap.
