Anyone use a battery grip on their crop sensor body? I've been tempted by a secondhand mb-11 for a d7000. It's going quite cheap because it has a couple of scuff marks. I tend to shoot a lot in portrait orientation, I just find things that catch my eye suit it more.
The thing is I can change to portrait without thinking about it and operate all the buttons and dials. I don't really need the extra battery life and being lazy I would just use both batteries then have to charge two. Also changing the form factor to a square with two handles seems like it would be odd, rotating the entire camera instead of just holding it vertically.
The main pros for the grip for me would be extra weight to balance heavier lenses. More grippy, I don't have huge hands but it'd be nice. The portrait thing if I got used to it. More balanced on a tripod in portrait. Looks kick ass (but also tryhard, I like to be descrete).
Any thoughts/experience on the matter? Thanks /p/.
