not much good at multiple choice tests huh?
lol

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.

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.

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?
