Very nice pictures! I use the Hakuba Grip-LH ($19 at B&H) with my DS. Put it on as soon as I bought the camera and have not yet taken it off. I filed off its little registration stop and angle it a little forward on the base, that gives me a perfect hand strap. The grip's base blocks the battery compartment, but that only takes a moment or two to overcome (just loosen the base and swing it out of the way to change the batteries).
I have no need for a vertical grip and prefer the camera to be small and light anyway. It's a wonderful camera. I'm shooting a lot with some A and M lenses, plus the DA14, FA135, and the 31 Limited should be here this week. Godfrey __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
