Lightbulb Grip for the G2?

Hi,
Does anyone have a problem with the existing grip on the G2?
I really feel that it is too small and would like something like the M-grip on the Leica M.
I asked Eric Paulsen of photo-equip if he would consider designing one and I'm trying to gauge the interest level if he should come up with such a product.

Anyone interested?

Thanks

Nick

I'm pretty pleased with it as-is. Sorry...

FWIW, I like the CV Bessa grip, and the Leica grip looks ok too because they're smaller than Photo-Equip's grips!

Nah, I think it's fine too, but there is a cheapy Leica knockoff grip I sometimes see on Ebay that might work for you.

I'm pretty happy without any extra grip. I carry mine in my hand with no strap and feel very comfortable that way.

It's very personall thing... for me G2 grip is better than any other I tried. I like small grips (For example bessa's grip isn't bad)
The only problem it's that G2 is a little too heavy for hand-strap.

regards, Rami
