That is a lot and I don’t see any cheap copies on the usual websites. It may be easier to carry some extra batteries?
This is what I do, I have five batteries! But when I nearly use two batteries up in under an hour.....it would be handy to have a battery grip that takes the larger more powerful Pentax battery for such occasions. I have the batteries available from my K7 and K5II

I recently treated myself to a new to me KP which I'm enjoying but! The battery life is worse than my trusty K-S2. Most of the time the short battery life is okay however, my recent long exposure night time trip to Felixstowe has highlighted the problem when doing intensive forms of photography. Not wanting to spend £200 on a new grip, I wondered if anyone here has a grip they might want to sell?
Send me a message or comment below if you have a grip that you're wanting to sell, or if you've seen a deal available somewhere.
Cheers
Nigel

#4 for me, excellent lead in lines and great shot overall,

I would however clone out the person on the fairly extreme right hand side as it takes your eye away from the end of the lead blocks.
Oy! That's a selfie that is. I had to stand still for 5 minutes for this shot, I'm staying put!

Onr here for £539 ... never purchased from them before though.

Was it last year or the one before Amazon had them new for less?
£550 brand new in box... less if you were a student (I think £487)
Camerapricebuster.co.uk has the lowest price back in Feb 2020 at £526 on Amazon then £619 in the November. At the time I was thinking I'd treat myself to the new camera that we all new was in development but, I don't feel I need to spend £1900 on a camera body to continue enjoying my hobby so, secondhand KP it is. You pay your money and take your choice...

Not trying to de-rail your thread, just complement it - and add to the service you're providing to our community
And complement it you did too Lenny. Your spot was an even better deal alright. Both have gone now so someone or two must have also thought they were a good buy. I wonder if it was anyone here?
I might have been tempted by a little silver number with all 3 grips and 12 months warranty

Thanks for the heads up LennyBloke, taken the opportunity to replace my broken 16-85mm

Mmm, sounds like a super zoom candidate to me however. When I go out I usually(not always) decide on a lens, put it on the camera and that's it for the trip out. No lens changing, not lots of gear to lug, I actually enjoy the challenge of finding my shot with the one lens, whether a zoom or a fixed focal length. Going to an air show, camera, spare battery and the DA 55-300 wr and that would be it.

Turned your lens in a much sought after "soft". If I wasn't so busy laughing I'd cry
