The M's are small and not so easy to hold without it (things can be _too_ sleek, as Schoenberg noted about his watch) and especially if you're going to be doing any off the camera flash the handgrip helps enornously. It doesn't look so pretty, but that's too bad. I use it always on the body which doesn't have a rapidwinder (soon to be remedied), and since I only have wide-angles I think it could be even better for a telephoto. The only thing the rapidwinder itself lacks, in fact, as others have noted, is a grip. Also soon to be remedied according to Tom A. Actually, to continue the Rapidwinder side of things, I've found it very convenient for flash with a cord. You can just wind on with the hand holding the flash without having to change your grip on the body. Much nicer than without (syntax?). Rob.
