Ya, I was disheartened to see that sale as I have/had the grip on backorder with B&H. I figured the Ricoh deal sucked up all the supply of grips. To hear that you didn't get an immediate shipment gives me a glimmer of hope that they protected their other backorders. I'm waiting to see the cheap Chinese version on ebay. I bought 2 (for the K-7 then K-5) and they worked just fine. You'll get the order jammed back up your ~~~ distribution system if you don't deliver soon. Regards, Bob S.
