Can't help with handgrips for a bare body. Sorry. Harrison recommended the handgrip R to me. (14308) Unfortunately, it works with the motor-winder-R or the motor-drive-R, but it provides a very comfortable, secure camera grip. I use an R6 with the motor-drive-R. The camera is a gem with this combination. > >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.

Hope the Leica glass makes it worthwhile! > It is a toss-up which handles better. I use both of these. The F1N (do you really mean the F1n??, whose motor drive is a heavy old dog) handles very well. The way the camera handles is important. If you can make adjustments while looking through the viewfinder and concentrating on the subject, then it is more likely that you will not miss something important. - -GH
