Like the grip, not too sure about the lens support though
As a cheap alternative to the Pentax one I'm sure plenty of K10/20 owners would like feedback as to handling etc.
Oh and which dealer it came from.

Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...
PPG entries.

hi hardgravity, its all i could find to be honest at the time, you know what its like,
to be honest it feels well made, as good as the pentax k200d one i have,
its only got the on and off switch with dof preview or live view in my case, the shutter button has to be pushed a little bit more then the k200 one to focus , but feels good enough and it works a treat, im pritty sure its not weather sealed, but for 32.99 i didn't expect it.
it also has the 3 metal locating pins on it which i have only seen on one other grip the pentax, it does fit very well and also feels very comfortable,

Does the cheap one have the weather seals just as the Pentax one?
This cheap one certainly looks better then some of the other alternatives I have seen.
I wonder what Pentax thinks of a copy of their design...

The Pentax K10D grip doesn't fit the Samsung GX10. The camera body mouldings are different.Hi Scott, wouldn't mind one for the GX10, I would imagine its the same as the 10D, what website please

mmm possible birthday pressie for me there. Never could justify £100 for the amount of use I'd get out of a grip, but £30 odd is a different story. It might help to make my 300mm Tamron SP slightly less unbalanced as well (miracles happen!)
nice find Scott, keep us informed!
