When these were introduced, there was a huge explosion of interest in them, and a bunch of folks gave paeans of praise much as Otto has. But then sales dried up, and they've not sold nearly as well as predicted. The reason, of course, is much like the split over Leica M use with glasses: some users find the small size of the Leica M body and the location of the tripod socket a pain, others like it fine just the way it is. In any event, for those who like, the handgrip DOES come highly recommended. I've never heard a negative word about it. I just don't see the usefulness FOR ME -- I love the small size of my M6 and don't want to make it any larger. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
