i love this grip. the d lux 4 camera body can be slippery and there’s no place to grip it. this grip changes everything. makes it so easy to hold camera with one hand. although i wish that the original design of the camera didn’t require me to buy the grip separately, it is worth it. have used the camera so much more now that i’ve put the grip on. it really does make a huge difference.

I thought long and hard about purchasing a grip for my Leica D-Lux IV camera. I looked at a custom-made grip by Richard Franiek (sp?), but didn’t feel like his grip protruded enough to allow for secure one-handed shooting. So at great expense (I want to say this was about $117?), I bought this Leica-produced grip.
There are drawbacks other than the price, such as that this grip screws onto the base of the camera in such a way as to block access to the battery compartment, so changing the battery is a pain for those of us who use this grip. We have to unscrew the grip and remove it to access the battery compartment. Time-consuming and annoying.
However, this grip works! It is very well made, very solid–a nice weight, such that it helps steady your hand while you’re shooting. And the amount of protrusion of this grip allows for very secure one-handed shooting, a capability I find essential.
I found this grip to be worth my substantial financial outlay because the camera would have been much, much less usable without it. If I had it to do again, I would definitely purchase this grip.
