[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 522485, member: 6277"] I think there are a lot of the 3rd party camera accessories that are junk BUT more and more of them today are as good and sometime better than the name brand accessories. I think companies like Nikon, Canon try to live off their reputations some times, other companies that are not quite on that level like Olympus, Pentax have to watch it a little closer (Not saying they are not as good) companies like Sony are the new kids on the block and they can't afford to put out anything that is not at the top of their game. I just got my Rokinon 14mm lens. That same lens is out under many brands. It is not an expensive lens but stacks up pretty good against the big boys.
