If you don't like that one don't ever suggest you get one for a Minolta STsi, HTsi, or XTsi. The Minolta one is as flimsy as they get made by screwing together a bunch of plastic parts, and to top it off they use the base plate of the camera as the top cover of the battery pack and make you have to take it off totally to replace the batteries. No slide in battery tray. But I still use that and the ones on my ZX-5n, ZX-10, Maxxum 700si and Maxxum 9. I have to admit that the vertical grip for the Maxxum 9 is the only one really worth the money. Kent

I bought one, decided I didn't like it, and sold it for nearly what I paid for it. The current prices are more in line with what you get, I think. That said, I have the battery grip for my MZ-S and I love it! It locks down nice and tight, and feels really good. I hope the MZ-S stays around for a long time--I really like mine. --Mark ------------t wrote--------------- I scored the $12 used one from B&H a couple of weeks ago for my ZX-M. It was basically brand new. Maybe it was Mark's. ;) t - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
