Pentax BG4 for Samsung GX20?

Waj K Maj · 04-05-2012, 08:25 AM

Hello everyone;

again I need the help of the well informed; I'm looking everywhere whether I can find any information on the compatibility of the BG4 Pentax with the SAMSUNG GX20?

If the answer is yes then say no more, if it is no, can anyone point me in the right direction of what BG will work with my SLR?

Kind Regards

By the way when I meant say no more I actually mean "please let me know" since I seen 5 views and no responses, I really do need the help

won't work...that grip is designed for the K-5/K-7. To my knowledge, there is no pentax grip that is compatible with the GX20. I believe Samsung had one at one time...but don't quote me on that part.

I recall reading a thread where someone had modified an aftermarket grip for the K20 to work on the GX20......might try searching around some. I'm not even sure it was on this forum....google might help ya out....

D-BG2 -> K10D/K20D
D-BG4 -> K-5/K-7
SBG-D1v -> GX10/GX20

Here's the modification of D-BG2 to fit
