Finally, I was able to purchase a MB D80 battery grip for my Nikon D90!
I know a battery grip is not that important but it really helps give you a more comfortable grip of your cam and a better shooting position when shooting portraits.
This is the initial reason why I sold my older Nikon D40, I can’t seem to find a battery grip for it here in Singapore. There is this 3rd Party brand Ownuser that made battery grips for the D40 but I can’t seem to find a store selling it (as you know, I don’t like purchasing stuff from Sim Lim).
So back to my MB D80, I was so pleased playing with it, it gave me a feel that I had a new camera again. Without batteries, it did not add much weight to my gear but adding the 2 batteries inside and you’ll feel the extra weight.
It came with all the buttons I needed although I was hoping Nikon considered adding a function button too.
Here are some pictures of my new battery grip!
Please note that photos were taken using my mobile phone.
