Right thumb

[Donald Mann]

I recently bought an M8. After using an RD1 for several years, I am wondering what to do with my right thumb to keep it in shape? Some people have suggested buying a BlackBerry.

no use for your thumb anymore. throw it away.

Having used the cocking lever to hold the camera in my hand when not in use for years, I was happy to find out the R-D1 still had a cocking lever. Holding a camera without one (like my Eos 300D or any P&S) simply doesn't invite me carrying it ready-to-shoot in my hand.

So, don't throw away your thumb. Throw away that M8. Throw it my way, if you will.

The blackberry is good solution; you know they also call it crackberry because you get addicted. I have a new addiction with the M8... we are going to have to find a name for this too...

I used an RD1 as well, and found the M8 a little slippery to hold. Soon got the grip for the M8, which, because of the way your fingers grasp it, gives you some use for an opposable thumb.

Cheers,

Well you could start by taking your thumb out... oh nevermind. Just kidding!
