I have the extra grip for my Om2s. I didn't pay today's prices, but neither
am I quite willing to sell it for today's prices. But it's getting tempting.
If you don't have a winder attached, it really improves the grip.
I had an OMG once with the grip 2. It is not nearly as nice as the extra
grip for the 2s and 4t.
The one built into the covering of the OMPC is also quite nice, but partly
because of the rubber material. The shape on the front is not quite as
secure as that of the grip 1.
Maybe someone needs to design an aftermarket grip to replace the grip 1.
There seem to be a lot of cameras on the auction site, but almost none with
the extra grip, so most people it seems never bought one.
