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.

I just received my (3rd party) XT20 grip this morning but I can't comfortably use it with any lens larger than 23mm f1.4 or 90mm f2 and with either of those two I have to spread the fingers of my right hand partly around the shape of the lens. Maybe the OEM grip is closer fitting allowing a tad more space but for me this is another good reason to hang on for the new XE3 which, (if same as previous bodies) is 1cm wider than XT20 - a small amount but it will make all the difference in holdability.
