[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 369762, member: 9240"] My emphasis added, because I am somebody who [I]does[/I] use it - whenever a flash or trigger unit isn't on the camera. I'm also someone who has seen a hot shoe rail damaged in the past when something dropped in a camera bag and landed on the corner, bending it down to the point where a flash could not be mounted. You can say it's whining over something insignificant all you want, but to me it's like making someone pay for floor mats in a $100K car - sure, most folks don't care, but it's the mere idea that you're laying out that kind of money and now you're charging someone [I]extra[/I] for protection that used to be included (and still is on cheaper models). They still ship that ridiculous DK-5 long exposure eye piece cover that [I]nobody[/I] uses because it's so much more a pain in the ass than just putting a cloth or your hands over the opening - and that's almost twice the price at $3.50. I've got one in my camera bag and the rest never get out of the original packing box. Why not ditch that?! You never need more than one at a time. I'd never have missed it, and I suspect most folks here wouldn't have either. Look, I'm not losing sleep over it, but it just smacks of stupidity on Nikon's part, something they seem to be getting more and more comfortable with. The thing I didn't complain about, and probably should, is that there is no protection at all for the LCD screen on the back. I have a D800/D600 protector here and it's [I]almost[/I] the same size, but the black ring around the edge actually obscures the edge of the D750 screen, but not the D610 whose display window is the same size, but it does not fill it to the edges. With just minor use yesterday the plastic adhesive sheet over top of it is already peeling off and I need to decide whether or not I want to make one out of a spare iPhone 5 sheet I have lying around or just take my chances until one is manufactured.
