Hi Alan

If your after third parties look on flea bay. There are plenty of offers at about £10 postage free for 2 batteries. Even grips + 2 batteries for £45 ish - post free.

I have one, (grip + batteries), and the quality is sound. Arrived 6 days after order placed, post free also marked as sample so no UK tax to pay.

You could also try: -

They used to have a grip + batteries for about £60

I wasnt advocating using a cheap product. Merely providing a possible link to an alternative, and Opteka are a very good brand.

You can also get them on Amazon as low as $25-26

Worth considering against the UK prices

Congratulations Alan

My first grandchild is due any day so im waiting to break open a bottle of shampoo ive been saving.

Buy him a K5 as a 'being born' present, (of course you will have to learn how to use it fully first lol).

Enjoy the new arrival.

Great shot, just a pity re the front leg, if thats what it is, just imposing slightly on the overall effect. Cloning out would possibly make it worse though?
Still a great image.

In this case the colour version just does it for me. Gives it a little 'life' Both have depth from the fish eye, but the BW just loses out.

Great shots though.
