Out of curiosity, does anyone have the vertical battery grip? Any impressions?

I have the A7r with the battery grip. For me it\'s the key for making the camera usable with SLR lenses. With it attached I can grap the camera with my whole hand and rest a part of the weight on my palm. Turning the camera to vertical position is very easy and fast.
In vertical position the position of the C3 button suddenly becomes meaningful. In fact I think the designers placed it where it is with the battery grip in mind.
Because the whole package is still relatively small the camera can still be fully operated in vertical position. I can easily reach the AF/MF - AEL switch with my thumb as an example. The extra battery comes in handy too.
So I give the grip a clear recomendation. It will hardly ever come of my camera.
