Joe,
nice work adapting the grips.
My guess is there is no need for a ZI grip. The more edgy design goes well with the ZI.

Hey Joe,
I received my ZI and its grip today as well. Comparing with the metal PhotoEquip M-Grip, the ZI grip is definitely a little more shallow.
The grip seems to be plenty deep enough for me though I haven't done much shooting with it yet. I don't use a grip on my Bessa as the "ergo-bulge" in the back is enough. Mileage varies I guess.
The plastic of the grip seems alright. There's some give in the upright of the ZI-grip when it's not on the camera, which doesn't happen with the PhotoEquip product. On the camera, things seems solid enough to me.
Side by side with a camera sporting a PhotoEquip M-Grip, it does seem that one definitely inspired the other.

congrats jason.
they look good and might be nicer as i assume they are a bit lighter than the aluminum mgrips.
i'm thinking that the looks of them compared with the mgrip is gonna be a personal decision. the mgrip, being more angled than the zi grip seems to 'fit' the looks of the camera better to me.
i might order one just to check them out.

Holy cow.. I ordered my ZI grip from Popflash on Friday and it's here already (via USPS)!
It is a bit on the small side, but I think it feels fine in my smallish hands.
I do agree that asthetically the squareness of Joe's grips do blend with the ZI's design much better, though.

I'll be the dissenter and state that I like the ZI grip better, aesthetically. Both very nice though, for sure!

That's looking for a rumble?
Sheesh.. you guys should spend some time on the Sigma forum on dpreview. Now THAT is a tough crowd!
I have to say that the civilized nature of this forum is a great unforseen benefit of my transition back to film.

Yep.. I got it... It was part of what I was referring to. The absolute venom that filled the forum I was hanging around previously was simply unbelievable.
We're on the UWS near 72nd St. Deep down I'm a Jersey guy, though.
Are you still in the NY area?

Works like a charm.
I like that the camera will now stand and not topple forward.
And the CArl Zeiss on the BAck is nice too....😉
