[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 645545, member: 15675"] I got a D800 with MB-D12 a few weeks ago (very much used second hand at 450 EUR) and bought a Patona EN-EL18 copy + charger and an Ex-Pro BL-5 (iso an extra spare EN-EL15). Now I wanted to exchange batteries easily with my D500 without breaking the bank. I ended up buying a Neewer grip (under 40 EUR without transport) with twice Patona EN-EL18 copy (75 EUR for both special offer) + Ex-Pro BL-5 (about 35 EUR for 2 delivered). My goal is mainly to assure battery performance on long nature walks or stake out trips in cold weather. Still charging the last battery, but it all fits, the battery status looks correct in the D500 and the focus and shots work. No opinion on performance, but I'm not the one that has most issues with this in my way of working. P.S.: Also recently bought a Sony A7R with official grip, have some issues with 3rd party batteries which that came with that. [/QUOTE]
