Yeah!
Mod, Just kill the thread! In future, I'll just not bother!

The point is you can use your old grip if you really want to, and lets face it, it will work pretty much better than most if not all of the cheap knock offs but this time it will not cost you anything, certainly not two hundred quid anyway! As smeggy said, get the buttons wiring re-soldered, or I'll bet if you crack it open they'd probably just come out so you can swap em anyway, I mean they went in didn't they???

I think it does, it just transposes the green button and AF button...
Same as the new positions on the K3...

Oh you'll get it Mike but you'll have to wait as it wikl be at least Tuesday before I get my hands on mine! Been away in Auld Reekie for the week visiting friends and couldn't sort out the deal with SrS until today. I'll give you a report as soon as I can, I will be fairly brutal too as I am expecting grest things. I know it won't speed up the SDM motors in Lenses but I do expect vastly better subject tracking. Withh the Rgb meter and the new focus array working in unison, it will be a bum deal if all that investment in tech does not bear fruit...

In case you were wondering

Got the call this afternoon on top of King Arthurs Mount, looks like I've shot my last shots with the K5IIs...
