If so, why (e.g. For improved ergonomics or extra battery life )? I am wondering how the body on its own will feel with a heavier zoom like the 12-35 or a 35-100 mm? I have seen many posters refer to it. It adds another 220 g (w/o the battery) making the OMD heavier than the GH3 and similar in size (taller but a bit narrower).
Thanks,

Like all of the ones that responded thus far, for me the battery grip is a must-have. The horizontal grip is on my camera all the time (much more ergonomic, not that much addition in weight) while the vertical grip goes on my camera on extended shooting trips or when im using a bigger lens.
