No, the D grip is finicky. Basically if either wheel on the grip is between detents, then the body wheels don't work quite right. This is a known behavior for us who have had these beasts for a long time.
The fix is to make sure that both wheels on the grip cleanly click into place. After that, setting the other things will work fine. -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, November 22, 2006, 1:57:21 PM, you wrote: AM> Micah Kleit wrote: >> Dear All: >> >> While I am jealous of everyone who's getting his or her K10D, it'll >> be a while before I am able to afford one (or hide it from my wife). >> >> I have an *istD with the grip.
