I seldom use a winder or tripod, but I like to use a grip whenever possible.
FWIW similar grips are quite popular with the rangefinder crowd.
I have the same brand grip for the Pentax MX. It makes handling a bit easier for my big hands.
The Winder MX has a grip (w/release), but IMO adds too much weight and bulk.
I'm also considering buying one to fit my LX. With a minor modification (i.e. some grinding/filing
of the metal on the back of the vertical portion) this one would allow use of both top neckstrap lugs,
something that is impossible using the Pentax LX Grip A or B.
