I was looking over at Ebay and read an ad where the seller noted the grip was a left handed one. Are there right handed ones? Can the grip be used right handed easily? I need to hold with my right hand as my left is weaker from an injury.

I have a traditional left hand flash grip, but it's odd, and hard, for me to use as I prefer to adjust my lens settings with my left hand while holding the camera with my right; Like using a 35mm camera.

Wayne,
I'm not sure that 'blad made a right handed grip. The LH gripallowed you to hold the camera & release the shutter from the grip. Focus & advance was done with the right hand.
Hasselblad had an early grip that was cylindrical & could be used with either hand but I don't remember if it had a cable or shutter release incororated.
