I understand, Dave. I've been trying out an SFX and an SFXn, but I've put AA battery grips on both of 'em, which makes the grip area even bigger. (I've never actually used the original grips with them at all - I just couldn't bring myself to plunk down the money for those Lithium cells - <g>.) I've used primarily manual focus lenses on them so far (although I've tried out one of my wife's autofocus lenses, just to play with the autofocus function). I find that they seem to balance well, even with fairly large lenses, such as an AT-X 80-200/2.8 or an AT-X 100-300/4 (both manual focus versions). I think I'll keep 'em at least for a while, too - <g>. Fred
