Practical & significantly increases comfort

I initially hesitated to me zuzulegen this battery grip for my D300. Finally, you can carry around with them a 2nd battery too. And I was not interested in the increased rate of fire. Also it seemed awkward having to dismount the handle to remove the battery is located in the D300. Well, for portrait photos the handle is of course convenient because it has its own timer and separate dials. But then the extra weight and also the relatively high price ....

Now I have that thing, and do not want to give it back there. It significantly increases the comfort of the camera, as in particular the palm of your hand can rest on the side of the battery grip. With prolonged use, and when used with a heavy telephoto lens or an external flash, this is very important. And that puts all the issues for me. When I get along with one EN-EL3e battery autonomy, is the. Same in the battery grip and not only in the D300 For energy-intensive operations there then 2 batteries - one in the D300 and a grip. If necessary, you can operate the handle with 8 AA batteries or rechargeable batteries.

All in all - excellent accessory, processed excellent and a real asset in terms of comfort.
