I needed the grip to make the K5 usable with my hands but I am occasionally remembering that I have the extra controls now so it is becoming more valuable. The space to keep an SD card in the grip has been useful on a couple occasions already as well I really do seem to enjoy this camera a lot more than the K10d and have shot a lot more heavily making the extra battery on-board welcome too. I guess i do like it even given the price. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
