I got a thumbs up (Match Technical) for my X-Pro2. Having a hard time warming up to it. I loved it on my X100T. Some how just not finding it working on the X-Pro2. Any others with any brand thumbs up"s?

The LensMate LM-XP2 is the ticket.

I use Lensmates on all my Fuji models. Very comfortable. I have zero complaints. For my purposes, they improve the handling tremendously.

I have it on my xpro2 and the I feel similar as it blocks some of the buttons. But It is better than not having it at all on the camera.
The design works much better on my M cameras and even my SL

Ok, kinda my experience, too. Definitely needed when shooting with Nikon legacy lenses.

I found an X Pro 2 grip used on ebay. I had gotten the same for my XE 2 which my son now has. It makes all the difference for me especially on the X Pro 2 -highly recommend it.

I bought a second hand one from my local camera shop.
It was a good price and always something I wanted.
However day to day, I find I have to remember it's there to use. My thumb isn't expecting it there and I'm not used to it.
That said, I welcome it there and in time, I'm sure it'll be something to warm to.

I use the lensmate thumbs up, highly recommended.
The X-Pro2's greatest weakness is it's lack of grip, in addition to the thumbs up I also use a half case to increase the overall thickness of the camera so it's more comfortable in my hands.

Does the Thumbs Up keep your thumb from unintentionally rotating the exposure compensation dial?

Seconded. I was lucky enough to find one attached to the used X-Pro2 I bought. Affords a secure hold without you having to get a death-grip on the camera, and folds out of the way when you need easy access to dials and buttons.

Should do. When your thumb is hooked on it, there's no way for said thumb to touch the exposure comp. dial; and the rest of your hand should be well clear of the dial.

FWIW the Lensmate is half the price of Match Technical's offering, and (IMO) a better design to boot.
