Never used one but I would shop around if I were you, if the prices of there other stuff are anything to go by they are ripping you off. Check out the lens/flashgun/filter etc prices OMG!

What would be much better would be an attachable filter adaptor tube with a threaded end so that you could fit a multitude of accessories and filters then you would know the optical quality of what you are attaching, I should think the optical quality of these type of accessories your looking at would be about the same if not worse than shooting at a low iso with your optically superb s95 lens and doing a crop instead.

That looks perfect for both lens and filters.

Thanks

The S90 in the picture seems to have some sort of moulded grip on the right side? :shrug:

You beat me to it gordon . The Richards grips are made for a few compacts but are hard to come by in the UK. Nice though.

Thanks Gordon, I've just ordered one.

Got my S90 grip from Richard yesterday and it makes the camera much more comfortable / secure to hold. Also it doesn't look like it's not part of the original camera.
