Pentax one has two wheels and green button too!

I didn't notice that I have the Pentax one and having one without the front and rear dials would make it's use limited for me since I use the dials a lot.

Looks like quite a close copy styling wise to the Pentax grip, shame the rubberised material isn't a little closer in texture to the Pentax one.
I must admit I got my Pentax BG2 grip soon after my K20D and it's never been off the camera when I've been using it. Makes for a very nicely balanced handling package

here's another one of potential interest, a little more expensive but still rather a lot cheaper than the BG-2

and it has dials and buttons galore

Looks as good as a Pentax item.

i throught i would give this a go for £32.99 delivered from hong kong, it turned up today and so far am in pressed, hasn't got as much as the pentax one but, cant afford one at the mo, and my kids got me this for my birthday, here's some pics,
glad you like it, but from the pics I can't see it has much in the way of the real DBG2 wheels, shutter release or green or +/-EV buttons does it ? forgive my scepticism, but it seems like an expensive way to store an extra battery without those extras.

it's got the shutter release so it's not totally useless

I bought the Pentax BG2 from Jessops special offers just over month ago.
£60 inc p.p.. However the cheaper alternative looks o.k. from the images.
