A must when using large lens like 70-200mm f2.8 for gripping. First run had electronics anomalies or contacts were unreliable.

Comments about Pentax Pentax D-BG-1 Battery Grip for the *ist Digital Camera.:

Adds extra controls that make shooting vertical shots much easier. Battery life is effectively doubled. I wish it has a strap lug on one end for hanging the camera vertically with the neck strap.

Comments about Pentax Pentax D-BG-1 Battery Grip for the *ist Digital Camera.:

There an issue when you have batteries in both camera and grip, you'll get low battery when one gets run down, doesn't autoswitch. You have to turn camera off-on.
Love the feel and contour. Still happy after two years!
