[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 128609, member: 8344"] Glenn, Prices are still too high for that grip in my opinion, which PO's me a bit. I would really prefer the Nikon grip. The Meike is a stop gap until I see the price drop or I see someone selling theirs locally. I did a price review for Canada today, your thread here sparked me to have a look just out of curiosity. Here is what I found: -------- B+H Photo in New York: Grip BL-5 EN-EL 18 battery (my favourite choice) $650.85 US Grip EN-EL15 $530.32 -------- Local - from a big chain in Toronto Grip BL-5 EN-EL 18 battery (my favourite choice) $ 740.11 Grip EN-EL15 $598.87 All the posted prices have taxes and shipping in where applicable. I paid $70 for my Meike shipped to my door. I bought a Nikon 50mm f1.4 with the money I saved. Note, it is cheaper for me to have it shipped from New York, pay the duties, taxes and freight, then to walk into a local camera store and buy it directly. Another reason why I decided to try the CHEAPO version first. [/QUOTE]
