I have Adaptall and Adaptall-2 lenses and both can be used with the adaptall-2 mount adapter.

STD-K10D? I dont want any STD!

I got a SMC-F 50mm F1.7 and it hunted for focus as well, Dunno if it being the first implementation of AF plays a role, but I was disapointed as well.

Snootchies was a copy of D-BG2.
I've searched a bit on the Ownuser one, and though it has the advantage of different battery types and a seamingly better grip thickness wise. It seems its very heavy, you have two wires you have to connect to the camera and the screw is badly positioned, making putting and taking it off harder than on the other design.


So I think I'll go for the D-BG2 copy.

I've got spare batteries, but I don't like the arching arm.
I don't expect to do something like it soon, but when I shot the Edinburgh great run, my arm was hurting like hell.
mikew, is your grip shaped like the D-BG2 or is it thicker?

Sorry guys, I've been negligent... The thesis is killing me... And now I'm distracted with the gear ...

There is a walk around Roslin Glen suggested by Walk Scotland. Its 3 hours, but I suppose we'll stretch that.
We could meet at the chapel at 10h.
See here, theres a car park near by.
We can go for a walk, return, have lunch and then go to the 14:45 guided visit, or if were lazy and the pints are too tasty we can stay a bit longer, theres another at 15:45 (the Chapel opens at 12h and closes at 16:45).

For lunch theres a place a bit up the road from the Chapel.

How many are in?

Your timing is perfect.
Please see this thread I just started.

BTW. I will consider trading a third party grio + £ for my D-BG2. Please see above mentioned thread as I still want to determine which grip to go with.

As you may be aware I put my grip for sale.
Its too thin for me to be comfortable, and although I see how it might be better quality and of course has WS... Still, I'd rather sell it and get a cheaper third party one. The savings will be put towards getting a Sigma 17-70mm (I wish the Pentax...).
I would really like to have the Sigma (and a grip would be convenient) for the Edinburgh Festival, to have a go at street photography and for the performers. It seems easier when the street is crowded .

I've been checking ebay and there are two alternatives. One is a copy (in shape) of the D-BG2 and is sold by many sellers, not very atractive, but cheaper at ~£30. The other is a Ownuser brand one, it is ugly as sin but the grip itself seems much more substancial. The problem with this one is that I've only seen it for £60, which is allot.
Has anyone used this Ownuser thing?
How about the D-BG2 copy, does it work fine? (I believe there was one sold a few weeks ago)


Cheers.

Price dropped to £32, shipping to UK included but no mount.

I'm putting the Grip for sale. Its virtually new, used it this tuesday at a friends graduation.
Although I see the value in it, it really isn't very ergonomical for me. Too thin.
I wish the new DBG4 would have variant for K10/20D. I think I'll look into a third party one... maybe later because I'd really like to get a 17-70mm in time for the Edinburgh Festival. Anyway...

The box is a bit battered, but when I bought it they assured me it was new.
Pics will follow.

Price is £70 shipped to UK.

Cheers.
