I have it on my M2, but I don't shoot that as much, and when the M6 came with it, I noticed right away that I did not need the M6 grip that I had always used. So last Monday I made the order from Cameraleather and it arrived Saturday, and took about fifteen minutes to apply. Since I also have the M8 grip, I ordered that, but it seems that the camera doesn't need the Grip with Griptac. I think you are right about the thumbs up, I think another little piece of griptac or other rubber might do the trick. -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com http://sonc.stumbleupon.com/ Natchitoches, Louisiana USA
