Re: FILM: grip for PZ-1P
I can only agree. Since I got the grip strap I've taken it off from camera only ONCE and put it back QUICKLY :) The camera handles MUCH worse without it. I had to buy new case for my camera, but even this way it was absolutely worth of every cent I payed! BR, Margus Stan Halpin wrote: > The PZ-1p has what is called a "grip strap."

I bought a grip strap for my Z-1p about two years ago. I don't regret it one bit. It can get in the way when the camera is on a monopod (tripod is OK as I use the cable release). For handheld shooting its a dream. I didn't bother fitting the neck strap into the grip strap. I thought it'd get in the way. Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/

Thanks Ian You are right - there was a person (in US, I believe) that was working on producing a grip (batteries inside) for a Z-1p. It looked very promising, but AFAIK he never got to do it. I exchanged e-mails with him sometime after, he said that he was thinking less and less about doing it. Nind you idea was great. And the prototype looked real good. I'll look for my correspondence with him, if I find anything, I'll let you know. (*)o(*) Robert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: grip for PZ-1P
To the best of my knowlege, there is no AA battery grip for the z-1p. There is only a grip strap. It looks like a battery grip, but it isn't. I wish there was one for every model of Pentax, as I find it has made shooting much easier and convenient. The only downside I've found is on the extremely rare (at least for me)occasions when you want to hang the camera from my neck I can't because you have to take off the neck strap in order to use the grip strap. Or at least I haven't found a way to use both. Maybe someone else knows a way.

Re: FILM: grip for PZ-1P
Someone was developing a grip that would take AA batteries. I guess it never came to fruition.

Re: grip for PZ-1P
Did Pentax make a AA battery grip for Z1P? You are talking about the grip-strap attachment?? - Original Message - From: "greg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2004 3:03 PM Subject: Re: grip for PZ-1P > I have one and I love it. > Greg Cooper > > - Original Message - > From: "Ian bromehead" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2004 11:36 AM > Subject: FILM: grip for PZ-1P > > > > Anyone heard of a grip accessory for PZ-1P ?

Re: FILM: grip for PZ-1P
The PZ-1p has what is called a "grip strap." Truly a wonderful addition to the camera. What you get is a small extension to the bottom of the camera. No battery holder, no electronics, just the plastic platform that attaches to the bottom. This gives you two things. First, the addition extends the grip on the camera so that you have more to hold onto. Second, it has an attachment point, on the lower right corner, for the bottom end of the grip Strap itself. This is a leather and nylon short strap which attaches to the upper right of the camera, lower right of the camera+attachment. You adjust to fit, slide your hand through like sliding your hand into open fingered gloves, and you are ready for a day of shooting. A wonderful secure aid to keeping the camera in hand. As it were. Having once used one, I would never again carry a PZ-1p without the grip strap. Stan Ian bromehead wrote: Anyone heard of a grip accessory for PZ-1P ?
