The ZX5n battery grip was really a different animal altogether. It just
allowed the use of less expensive AA batteries instead of the CR-
whatever batteries that fit in the camera body. The grip for the K-5,
(or K10/20 for that matter), has more in common with the motor drive for
the LX, with a second set of vertical controls, etc.

Hi Robert,
When I was considering a grip, I saw some much cheaper
one from a third party manufacturer. I thought it was well under $100,
but I only see one from Bower (B&H, Amazon) at $99, so,
that's probably it. The reviews for it seem to be mixed.
In any case, - you may want to be aware of this alternative.
I am still using K-7, but the cameras are similar in size. I am
actually enjoying the camera without any battery grip
(even though I had one for the ZX5n).

Hello,
My wife got me a K-5 for Christmas and all I can say is, WOW. What a
great
camera.
Seems like I remember a used battery grip advertised on the list for
$125.
Anybody have one they want to sell?
Warmest regards,
Robert
