When I received my LX it had the Grip-B which I removed (along with the
strap) as an ungainly eye-sore. Well, I didn't want to lose it so after
playing with the camera for a few days I put it back. Let me just say that
I don't know how I'd use a camera without it! It gives the camera a very
positive feel and when mounted on a tripod allows me to swing the camera
quickly on the ball-head.
Last weekend I was chasing insects with a home-made flash bracket and a
105mm macro lens for some life-sized closeups. When mosquitoes started
attacking me with a vengeance I decided to photograph them on my left arm.
Without the Grip-B I would never have been able to hold the camera rig
one-handed in order to compose the shots. Needless to say I am NOT removing
the grip again!
