I don't know much about all the Greek grammars, but I can comment on what
I've used.

>Hewett J: NT Gk a beginning-intermediate grammar.

This was my first year grammar and I think it's pretty good. Like I said, I
really can't compare it to much, so maybe my comments are really of no use
whatsoever. =) Oh well, I still use it a lot when I forget paradigms and
such. Sometimes it was relly confusing, and I was sure there must be an
easier way to say what he did--but I fell in love with Greek, and this wad
my first real experience with it.

>Rienecker F: Linguistic key to NT (a parsing manual?)

I **really** like this! I'm working on becoming less and less dependent on
an analytical lexicon in my translation. Rienecker and Rodgers seem to
point out the less obvious verbs and nouns that someone of my caliber would
probably not know right off.

Hmmm...I guess that's really all I've used. Lately I was pleased to find
Machen's grammar for 25 cents and Ray Summer's grammar for 50 cents. My
collection is steadily growing...
