I've bought battery grips for THREE different Pentax DSLR bodies. I just recently gave away the second new-looking grip, along with my K-5, to a good friend's daughter who is a budding photographer and is pretty much 'heir' to all my older camera gear. I've never been able to use the grip for more than a few outings because the weight and increased bulk start to be a pain. It's pretty easy to change the battery after all... I can understand grips if one is using a monster lens like a Bigma hand-held. So it really doesn't bother me that this body doesn't have one. That said, I'll no doubt buy a grip for the K-1, when I acquire one.
