The GX80 / 85 didn't work out too well for my left-handed, left-eyed, needs - so I eventually tried the GX7, which was pretty near perfect... so much so in fact that, just before lockdown, I bought myself a new GX9, for its various extra features.

Very nice camera, however I still much prefer the handling and general experience of shooting with that GX7.

Ergonomics is quite personal, for sure.

I usually don't pay attention to others' complaints about the handling of a particular camera. I need to handle the camera myself to see how it feels.

For example, it was difficult for me to use the GX7 one-handed, so I installed that neat thumb grip.

The GX8 has a bigger hand grip, so doesn't need the thumb grip for me.

PS - Thanks for the various tips, as well as for your pictures!

You are welcome!

Got myself one of those grips - Fotodiox Type A seemed the most appropriate - and gosh... what difference it makes, also with the GX9, so may be needing a second!

For the first time, a comfortable and balanced way of using either camera with Lumix 12/60 kit lens.

In future, each time your ears burn, that'll be me - out somewhere, shooting, and sending you another round of thanks!
