The grip is on my list of things I want, but the $300 was too much when I
bought the camera. I used the money to buy the 20/1.7 instead. I can
definitely see times when I'd want the grip. But for everyday walking
around, I'm really starting to like the light weight of the unadorned E-M5
with that 20/1.7 on it. I can't imagine walking around with my E-1/Grip
combo. But Ken is absolutely correct - the balance gets messed up when you
hang legacy glass on it.
