As the name implies, it's meant to aid Winding, not shutter-pushing. I'm sure anyone who's put several rolls through an M6 over a compressed time period can relate to the acute pain that develops in the inner pad of the left hand thumb and forefinger where they clutch the tiny wheel at the end of the rewind lever. That pain, and the idea of a thimble to prevent it, was the initial idea in this list. <br /><br />I've never tried pushing the shutter with my thumb although I guess in that case a thimble might come in handy.Blake Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187987264904729243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-62957401773685155552011-12-09T07:47:20.655-08:002011-12-09T07:47:20.655-08:00The WINDING THIMBLE is a great idea.

Before that I had a Nikon F3 (still have it) and had the habit to click with the thumb... don't know why, but I liked it. I guess it is a crucial Poll question: <i>Do you click with the thumb or the 1st finger ?</i> Now I forgot about advancing film. Well, I know I used my thumb too but can't figure out if you can do otherwise.jacques philippenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-29734945671024164362011-12-08T21:42:38.044-08:002011-12-08T21:42:38.044-08:00I don't know how common truck nuts are in othe...I don't know how common truck nuts are in other locales but I see them fairly often here in rural Oregon. Cowboys take their manhood seriously. Noncowboys too. <br /><br />Haven't seen any on a Leica though...yet.<br /><br />In the interest of full disclosure I am a Leica owner. I just like to poke fun at the whole phenomenon.Blake Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187987264904729243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-65138957996155938912011-12-08T13:44:39.079-08:002011-12-08T13:44:39.079-08:00omg the truck nutzomg the truck nutzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-34182791388421166112011-12-08T10:29:39.788-08:002011-12-08T10:29:39.788-08:00I own a M9.
