My eye is never in the right place anymore. It's really frustrating to bring my camera up and be looking at total black! I wonder how long it will take for this to become natural. anyone else experience this when they gripped their camera for the first time?

I would guess the feeling will pass very quickly. Some stuff that says "Canon" on it and a happy trigger finger.

I always turned it so that my right hand was on top to work the button, turning camera left pre grip. Now with the grip I turn camera right. It makes my eye position funky. I did a shoot today and found myself still turning it the wrong way and using the old button instead of the grip button. I don't think I'll ever get used to it!

I don't get it. The shutter button is on the right, so you turn the camera to the left to get the grip's button on the top..
