The small R4-R7 bodies handle well when used with smaller lenses but with a larger lens I need a better grip than these cameras allow. I tried the Winder-R and grip; this convinced me that the R4-R7 bodies are not for me. The grip prevented me from reaching the shutter speed dial or mode selector switch and with the 400 Telyt was painfully uncomfortable.
