If anyone is interested, the PZ-117, for use with the Battery Grip, has a metal loop on the right hand side which allows for use of the old PZ-1p grip strap, which I always liked. It gives me a firmer grasp of the body, since I dislike shooting with the neck strap around my neck or shoulder.

By the way, the notice says they have the K10D L-brackets (one for use with the body only, one for use with the grip attached.) When you go to their Pentax Plates page, it says the L-brackets are coming soon. But if you browse around the site a bit you can find the L-brackets and other neat stuff as well. Disclaimer: no personal benefit to me if you buy Kirk - I am just a very satisfied customer.
