Should i buy the MB-D80

[Davor]

Someone on the local online add is selling one for 80$, he said it was only used once and its the genuine Nikon one. Henry's sells it for 200$ with tax

Im thinking it will really balance my camera out when the flash is mounted and prob for future heavy lenses.

Let me know soon

cheers

Why not, if you don't like it you can always resell it--those typically go for $100-$120

" ill have to carry it around extra if i want to use it."

Most buy it to mount on camera and leave it on. Mine never comes off. As it helps with balancing out camera especially with heavier lenses. Also helps alleviate weird twisting thing with hand when shooting a lot of vertical shots. Me with hand problems the grip is a lifesaver. And camera feels weird with it off.

To each their own. But out of all that I know use them. Very few actually carry them around as an accessory and only mount them when they want. Yes it means a bigger bag. But for me it's worth it.

I have one on my D90 and love it.
