It is worth it, it definitely improves handling. However, it's not just the battery, it's also the SD card that requires that you remove the grip. Also, if you are changing batteries while you are...

Hi DennisTwo versions, color and B&W:--Mikehttp://mikekatz.smugmug.com

Long time no speak :-).I'm a fan of post processing, but for my personal taste I think #3 misses the mark. I prefer the colors in the original. Also, the roof is darkened in #3 and I think the...

All Sony A99 with CZ 135 F/1.8 lens.
