Now when you take camera in hand the right thumb has a simple rubber grip for a better hold on the camera body. The name on package is: "SURFACE PROTECTORS" they come in several sizes, but the 3/4" is the better for my hand size and shown in the 2 photographs. The other, 1/2" I tried first, but it didn't feel quite right so I peeled it off and replaced with the 3/4" This is the name of the company listed on the back of the package for a contact, I'm sure the rubber pads are easily available in the US as they are in Canada at the "Dollar Store." SYMAK SALES CO.,INC, PLATTSBURG, N.Y. 12901-O316 www.symaksales.com And all for the enormous amout of $1.00! :-) 10 in a pack. And they stick to the body very well. cheers, ted ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
