When using the 55-200mm I don't find I need a grip. I support the weight of the lens with my left hand, and my right hand holds the camera quite lightly.

Obviously a personal preference.

Hi, thanks for your input.

With a telezoom lens i would expect it to be OK, as you always have to use both hands.

But the telezoom would not be my walkaround lens, a 18mm f2 instead. And in the shop it have the 16-50 XC, so weight wise it wouldn't be very different.

On my X-E2 i use a thumb grip, and one hand is enough, because the front camera grip is a little bit bigger, not much but i fealt it made a diference.

On the X-T20, the front grip is the issue, and also, i couldn't imagine it with a thumb grip.

I know there are some, i have checked google and found some images.
