Handgrip for X2


Moonshine

Recommended Posts

I find the camera too small for me to get a grip on so i was thinking of getting one. Do you recommend a handgrip or a half case? Wish i could try either but unfortunately no camera that has them any where close...

 

Personal preference; I have a grip, and a larger case.

I am actually waiting on a reply from Luigi - he will have a X2 by fray and will inform me if the Luigi case for the X1 will work for the X2. If it does - then I am purchasing one with a grip on it . I just want to be sure that the Leica View Finder will plug in - if not he will have to make an adjustment to his case for the EVF to be plugged in with no leather in the way.

I worked the X2 today with the Leica half case and EVF and then changed over to the handgrip, EVF no half case. I like the handgrip but the half case is fine too even w/o a grip. My hands resemble monkey/gorilla thick and medium length fingers. The handgrip also gives a level of protection especially to the bottom plate. I will trade-in the thumb grip I had with the X1 it would only work w/o the EVF. Today I realized I want the EVF on permanently, I shot inside and out and it added a level of confidence. I also realized I really hate the LCD except for review. Its a wrong way to frame pushing your hands out. I also used the EVF periscope aspect. Anyway I find it usefull to use both the EVF and LCD.

Look online at a company called jnk-handworks.Use their Ebay site. I have a lizard half case and like it better than the other brand. By the way, X1 case seems to fit X2 with EVF. Mine does.

Mine is a very dark brown--almost black. Easy enough to have a hand grip built in to the half case.
