Every complete LX-2000 Kit I have seen for sale includes the Finger Grip.

One of the things I really like about the 'newer' LX-2000 is Pentax added a camera strap pin to the Finger Grip,
providing strap pins on both left & right sides of the camera when the grip is attached. On the 'regular' LXs, if the
Finger Grip is attached, a camera strap can only be attached to the two left side pins of the camera.

I like this feature, so I kept a look out for another LX-2000 grip w/pin for use on my 'regular' LX, too.
Amazingly, I found one within a month! I was able to buy a used LX-2000 grip with no camera attached!

Picture below is my LX-2000 showing the 'Special' Grip with camera strap pin near it's top.
I do not have the OEM leather strap, so I use a brown Tamrac N-45 strap on this camera instead.
Yep, I shoot with this camera, it is not a 'Shelf Queen'.
I'm quite happy with my "ordinary" LX but I'd love one of those updated grips. I rarely use the standard grip because I dislike the camera dangling down sideways.

Hi:

I love my LX2000!

As they were all produced in the year 2000, they are some of the last LX's ever made. I also have a CLAed late regular LX and my unCLAed LX2000 is much smoother to operate.

They also look great as well.

Phil.

Glad to help!

If the LX2000 you are looking at comes with the A50/1.2 Special, then that lens is also a dream to use.

Phil, could I trouble you for a little favor? This one looks pretty good to me but I wonder if the leatherette near the lens mount is starting to peel apart.. would you mind taking a look and comparing to yours?

Morning:

Yes the leatherette in the LX2000 photo is a bit puffier around the DOF/Timer lever than mine,

Maybe ask for the seller you give you a discount?
