The big handle is for me the best thing value anbelangt.Ich had also tested the smaller the retailer. Well, it's not cheap, but it increases the ergonomics of the X-T1 immensely and almost reached the level of a DSLR or the Olympus OM-D E-M1. Now even true one-handed operation is possible, which was almost impossible without handle with heavier lenses, especially with large hands. Weight and size are negligible for the camera bag and if it once but every gram counts, it can be removed. Further advantages are the Arca-Swiss recording of the handle, which makes an additional tripod plate with matching tripod head superfluous and now centrally seated in the lens axis hole for a tripod adapter. Disadvantages I have so far can not discover. Therefore my full recommendation and a perfect score.
