eek. one thing i can say about that is who would notice a red dot?

Very nice. what kind of wrist strap is that?

 

[back alley]

the wrist strap is from mr. zhou, off ebay.
20 bucks, free shipping (longer than the luigi strap which makes it nice for winter shooting with gloves on)

i like a splash of colour, a touch of flash.

Oooh, shiney! Very nice indeed.

I've contemplated getting one of these grips for my R-D1 too, but on the hand I think I like the protection of a half-case better then the comfort of a grip.

 

[Ezzie]

Likey likey. very much! As for stealth, well the hand will be covering it up when shooting. Who gives a hoot? I've made my own out of hardwood, as a stop gap until I can make a decision on whether I will be getting the black or the red one. I want to see what my R-D1 will look like with Verdigris kid goat skin cameraleather (when it gets here).

Very poor (iphone capture) picture here:

the wood grip looks great.

The red red grip looks fancy, I like it.

BTW, fine collection of lenses too

Edit: How does the G1 compare to rd1?

 

[back alley]

they are different beasts, very different shooting experiences.
i like both but usually use the rd1 for most of my shooting.
i like the g1 for easy shooting, the auto focus etc.

Joe, you have a gorgeous family. Probably the red grip is better than having red leather covering because if you get tired of it you can always retire it for awhile. I notice the skin on both your bodies is the Vulcanite. Is that from Cameraleather?
have you seen my loaner while my M7 is being fixed?

 

[back alley]

it's griptac from camera leather.

i never get tired of red...

 

[kshapero]

Enjoy the red. The griptac, I hear is awesome. Looks a lot like the skin on my M7.

 

[bellyface]

did morgan @ cameraleather custom cut you a template for the R-D1? Nice grip. I upholstered my R-D1 with the red standard.. now I've got me a luigi half case with grip and love it...

 

[back alley]

afaik, morgan's cover are all available for the rd1.

How hard is it to apply?

 

[Disaster_Area]

where'd you buy that grip? And do they make one for the Bessa's?
