Why do you want to make it much larger?
I don't have one, but I can tell you why I miss a grip on the Z-1p:
- Because when mounting a long and/or heavy lens, I cannot get a good
grip of the camera
- Because a shutter button for portraits would be

Hallo Eric,
Good to see you here.
The Spotmatic was a fine old camera, but is very old now. I remember

I bought a second grip so I've got one for both the PZ-1 and PZ-1p.

wondering, how do you people reckon the old f/4 Pentax macros compare to
the newer FA-100 f/2.8? (Just came across one of the former class for
sale; not sure if it is the F, A or original K variant - I'm assuming
