While the R6.2 is a wonderfully compact body, it is a little overwhelmed by the 80-200 F4 Vario Elmar. It really needs a grip, but I don't want the weight or bulk of the motor winder. Does anyone know if there is a 3rd party that makes a grip for the R6.2 (something along the lines of the M grip). Duane: Got the F1n back from CLA today and had the chance to compare it with the 80-200L mounted to the R6.2 with the 80-200 vario elmar. No question, the Canon combination is better balanced a little lighter, smaller overall, and generally handles better. Hope the Leica glass makes it worthwhile!
