Are you asking in general or for the -D? I use a grip with my MZ-50 (and used to do the same when I had the -5n) 100% of the time I use it. It handles better and the AA Lithiums are a boon. Even with it the camera fits in a generic case. But it lacks the vertical shooting control. The MZ-S grip has the verticals, but I use it only 85% of the times. The vertical controls are excellent, pity they don't appear on the body sans grip. But with the (very sexy to look at and handle) grip, the camera gets just a tad too large. Oh well, there is never a perfect camera... Kostas -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
