I got one of these gizmos a couple of weeks ago in a trade with Adam Maas that saw me abandon my rarely-used LX. (I bought the LX when my ME Super broke the day before a gig and I just happened to stumble across a well-priced LX -- used it for that gig and then bought another ME Super. Once you break free of the shutter speed dial it's incredibly hard to go back.)
http://www.dicain.com/2002/zb/view.php?id=notice&no=61 I've been fooling around with it for a couple of weeks and intend to use it during a job this weekend. I haven't had time to write up a review, but I'll gladly answer questions about it. Briefly: CONS The DS2 was not designed to take a vertical release grip, so your control is limited to the shutter button. The hollow area under the grip seems to magnify the sound of the shutter and AF. Slightly lighter in colour than the DS2 body. Ugly as sin. PROS It actually works. It's well balanced yet doesn't add much weight to the kit. The pop-out wired remote includes a lock for bulb exposures. It appears to have made my hand-held verticals far more stable at low shutter speeds. All in all, it is very much what I was expecting and I'm happy with it. So, what do you want to know? -Aaron -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
