People with small hands seem to hate this grip. Thus, if you are of the same persuasion, I would not advise getting it. On the other hand, I myself have rather large hands, and I can tell you that the N90s feels like a totally different camera. It's actually comfortable to hold. It was one factor that convinced me to keep the camera, as opposed to sell it, and either get another F4, or get into medium format. As for the vertical shutter release, it's much more comfortable to shoot with, although I will admit that that aspect has not effected me much (I shoot horizontally nearly all the time). The MB-10 is not for everyone, so see if you can visit your local camera shop, and put one on. Play with it for a few minutes, and see if you like it. Nick Nicholas S.
