Thanks for your prompt reply Julian, and I'm sorry to have used the term
'reprise' in the subject. Just looked it up in my Dictionary and by no means
did I intend to ask this as if it was a revenge or retaliation. Just wanted
to say 'once again'.

it seems that the front flash unit pins plug into a female socket built into
the PBG2. Is it so?

"The Flash Extender can be attached to give extra extension, when the rubber
plug at the front of the Extender is removed, but the batteries in the grip
will not provide extra power."

Reading more carefuly, that rubber plug would be a part of the zoom
extender.

So, this one tripod bush can be put through five different holes ?
