It may depend on how you hold your camera. I use the very large A*135
and sometimes the A*85 on an *istD without a grip, and don't have any
problems. On the contrary, I support the lens with my left hand with
the elbow supported to my chest so it takes most of the weight, and I
find that a grip comes in the way. That's one of the nice things with
Pentax, the camera is just a small and light something mounted on the
lens .-)
I don't have any problems using front heavy lenses on my *ist D body
(sans
grip) either, maybe it's that old habit of supporting each lens at the
balance
point that does the trick :-)
I've always found this balance business a bit weird. Presumably those who
complain about bad balance can never use a telephoto, or even a pancake
lens.
It's not how big it is that counts, it's what you do with it! :-)
