Yeah it feels great, for me its the weight over time around the neck, especially if I have a second camera.

That extra shutter button is really convenient on the rare occasion I remember it exists haha.

I love my F4! It's my trusty light leak free work horse and the metering is incredibly accurate. I got the larger grip and don't necessarily regret it but the smaller one would be nice.

The shutter sound is also one of the best out there!
