Yeah, I checked E-bay first, even the off brands for the 5D were $80.00, and used BG-E4's were $200.00. The 20-40D grips are not compatible because the tripod screw is in a different place.

i bought one for my 20D off of ebay. 50 Bucks. Its an off brand but it works great! and it works for all the D series. Isn't the grip for the xxD series the BG-E2? I think that since the 5D is slightly bigger, it actually takes a different grip, the BG-E4. Also, the unfortunate thing about the third party grips is that sometimes they hold up well, and sometimes they don't. But for the price, it's hard to complain when they don't. Anyway, I see them piggy-backed in with 5D's for sale on fredmiranda.com all the time as well. Many times they are willing to sell them separate. You might check there as well really quick just to make sure there aren't any good deals to snatch up. If not, the KEH price is really good! (Yes, I know I mention fredmiranda way too much... I have made a hobby out of looking for deals on there, haha.) |
