Cabstar,the Pentax grip does fit on the Sammy bodyand works straight off.It is a bit tight when screwing on though.A little judicious use of your prefered abrasive on the left "skirt" on the grip (when facing front of camera) and it all loosens up nicely.

Update

Having gone back and reread some of this thread I noticed that the on switch on the gripo is only for the grip not master for the camera.Tried again turned on camera and all functions on the grip work.It seems all that is needed is a little use of a set of needle files just to allow a closer less forced fit.

Has anybody here managed to make one of these fit on a GX20.I spent most of yesterday driving round the south of England to get one.I managed to pick up two so I hope Ebay will pay for my petrol.The thing is it is not obvious which part of the grip need adjusting.Google is not my best friend on this occasion.Any ideas? or do they both go to Ebay.

Many thanks

None on Jessops site this morning.Perhaps the boat has been missed for those who did not reserve.

Keep an eye on Ebay.I picked up a set of 3 rings with contacts but no autofocus (Jessops) for a vey reasonable amount of money.

Yes it will fit,I have a Samsung one on a Pentax lens,so they are interchangeable.

Ammonyte,I have no particular interest in aircraft but that is a very impressive collection of images.It must have been incredibly satisfying for you when you reviewed those pictures.Thanks for sharing.

Hi, I am looking to purchase a scanner to digitise some old family photos and negatives.Is there a particular model that is highly regarded,or perhaps an internet resource site that I might be able to educate myself with.This will only be for personal use so I think a budget of £200 must be the limit.

Many thanks mm
