I just received my KP ( which I got through the Grand Prize Raffle
)
it came without the battery grip and I have just ordered it from Amazon
I have both the K 3 and K 3 II ( and previously the K 5 II ) and all have ( had ) the battery grips
I like the grips because of how the camera bodies and grips fit my hand and I like the ability to have the extra battery with me and a spare sd card
if I don't like the weight I can lighten it by not putting in the battery
so I will try it out and if I don't like it, I will return it to Amazon
If I keep it, it will give me the ability to use the same battery as I use in the K 3 and the K 3 II or use the original battery
as I understand it the original battery for the KP does not last as long
