Hello Doug, I have grips for both of mine. The only time I don't use a grip is when I want the camera to be very small (rarely) or when it is mounted on my Stroboframe Pro-RL bracket. The added height of the grip makes it less usable when turn vertical on that frame.
An addition that I think is well worth it. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, October 4, 2005, 6:10:00 AM, you wrote: DF> Just for giggles, how many *ist D users out there are using the battery DF> grip for it?
