Hi Woody and all,
even though I wanted to skip it first I finally got the grip (exchanged my Pentax K5 for a S2-grip)
Of course that amount for a grip is strange and I can only try it to handle the same way I handle my S2-purchase: It is what I want, and even though its a lot of money I will enjoy and use it and forget about the money (hopefully
)
The grip sits ok on the S2 - I knew upfront the grips dont fit/sit very tight-still think Leica should have optimized this allready. Anyways-its more of a cosmetic thing.
I find the S2 with additional grip sits even more stable in the hand since now the full right hand sits on the grip while using it without grip its only 2/3 of my right hand.
Well, of course it adds size and I assume I will use it with grip but sometimes when I want it less obstrusive /more copact screw the grip of.
Will report back after some weeks if it stays more on or off.
On my x1 I bought a grip, first didnt like it and now have it on 99% (allows one handed use of the x1).
The M8/9 I still own the grip but never use it.
