Welcome back Mike! When I got my LX last year I immediately removed the grib-B as an unsightly, eyesore. I played with the camera for a bit and decided to put the grip on so I wouldn't lose it. More playing. I now can't live without it! It makes handling the camera quick and comfortable. It acts as a handle for me as well since I hate straps.
I LOVE the viewfinder! I'm getting an SG-20 soon and can't wait to try it out! Shutter noise doesn't bother me but as I posted here before I took pictures of a deer and her fawn from across a lake and her ears would prick up after each trip of the shutter! It is definately not quiet!
