Normal I buy only original accessories; but in this case I have tried it. The original costs about 150 then this offer. So why do not I said to myself. And this decision was the right place, the handle is perfect in workmanship and function. It also works perfectly on my EOS 700th In conclusion, I can only advise to buy, there is really nothing negative - it really must not always be the original. One more thing: The delivery was very quick, like again.
