I have the black aluminum after market grip and used it extensively until I
acquired the 135/2.8 . I thought the grip indispensible until I went
without it for a couple of months(the 135/2.8 won't mount properly because
the "eyes" and the grip collide). Don't use it at all anymore..would sell
it or trade to you, but too blasted far to ship...
