Yep. That grip works well. Not *quite* as nicely made as the real Pentax item stiffer control wheels and no weather sealing but it's fine for me. The only real deficiency is that the DOF preview isn't activated through the on/off switch like on the genuine Pentax item. Oh, and the on/off switch works the opposite direction as the real Pentax grip (and the one on the camera). I thought the grip was defective till I worked that out! I use the grip mainly for when I'm shooting with big, heavy lenses. Just gives my big mitts more to grab onto. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
