I would recommend against the Pistol Grip.
Its a product of desperation not convenience or anything else.
35mm cameras were coming in.
The pistol grip did not transform a twin lens Rolleiflex into a point and
shoot.
It just got your hands off the controls.
Its best your thumbs are on the controls. The f stops and shutter speeds.
Where they fall naturally if your are holding the camera the way it was
designed to be held. In your hands.
