well the 40D is really comfy IMHO but I was just amazed at how much more comfy this is w/ the grip... like.. seriously

not much good at multiple choice tests huh?
lol

[v35skyline]

I understand. The grip is necessary on the Rebel family, IMO. Without one, they feel like toys if you have big hands. The 40D fits mine nicely, but is even more comfy with the grip. :)

[rdc640]

not used one of the rebels with a grip, but without just felt crap, and i even have girls hands!

so realised id need one, so thought, sod it... 40d :)

Second the awesomeness of a grip on the rebel bodies. When I hold my friends XT or my girlfriends xti without a grip my hands are lost. :D

[beezwax]

idefinately agree.. the Rebel feels chinzy w/o it... believe it or not... it feels much more solid like the non-Rebel series EOS.

Is that Opteka?

Got details on the paper clip mod? :D

i also hesitated initially regarding the handstrap, since it's another 30-40 bucks or so (CAD). but it is totally worth it. BG-E3/opteka grip plus E1 is a great combination :D

Do you have a POTN strap as well? It also makes a HUGE difference in a great way. :D
