[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 282641, member: 13090"] I'll admit I've pointed out on more than one occasion where I thought it was/is okay to save a few bucks by not paying for something Nikon branded (batteries in particular) and I think I may have even praised one third-party battery grip in particular on these forums in the past but I'm too lazy to track down the relevant post. Anyway, all that being said, I have to say my experiences match up exactly with what [B]Dennis Kussener[/B] demonstrates in his video, above. Not long after I started shooting with my Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 DC HS OSM, a lens that weighs in at a full [I]four-pounds[/I], or 1.8 kilos, I began to notice the exact problems shown in the video. After some time I sucked it up and shelled out the money for a legit, Nikon-branded MB-D15. I continue to use the Sigma 50-150mm (aka the "Howitzer") but the previous issues have vanished. This is one time where I have to say buying Nikon has certain merits that can't be ignored. [COLOR=#ffffff]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
