Wait until you hold one.That's got to win the award for the most ergonomically inefficient vertical grip I've ever seen.
Actually. This a good time to remember Photography 101. Elbows in when holding a camera for the most stability. The new v-grip looks great and very functional. I look forward to checking it out in person.Personally, I think it should have stayed on the press a bit longer.
That's got to win the award for the most ergonomically inefficient vertical grip I've ever seen. On a camera that already is probably heaviest in its class, who thought it was a good idea to move the grip even further out from the center of mass ?
Buy the Phase One XF Vertical GripAnyone seen a price? I am guessing 3k if it's in line with the Phase One Bob.

With the viewfinder already offset towards the 'bottom' of the camera, you're now going to have to hold 75% of the mass of the camera above your head in order to use it.
One for portrait photographers built like Arnold Schwarzenegger only I reckon.
No need to even "return" - your dealer can arrange any number of ways for you to play hands on before committing in the first place.At first glance, I agreed with you. But one thing Phase one has unquestionably gotten right with the XF body is ergonomics. Let me rephrase that: they've gotten *many* things right with the XF body, but my point is that I'm willing to take their ergonomic design on faith, having experienced what they've done right in that regard with the body. And if this one is an ergonomic miss rather than an ergonomic hit, you can always return it after trying it out.
Thanks. Pleasant surprise came in at price of old grip or close.
With significantly better build quality.Thanks. Pleasant surprise came in at price of old grip or close.
Yes I would agree, very professional looking.With significantly better build quality.
As heavy as the XF body is, add the MFDB, and a *dainty* SK LS Blue lens----really? With this added grip, a user can really relax their grip resting the entire camera system at their side???
I just don't think so.
