QUOTE(acc10 @ Feb 16 2009, 02:49 PM) I just bought 2 pairs of Hahnel as well at RM60, Tony unwilling to lower down the price. Battery grip VG-B30am wannabe without battery is RM230 only...droooling lah. http://alphanatics.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&...t&sd=a&start=20there are many cons regarding this VG according to someone who just bought it recently Con's 1. On/off switch hard to use. hard to turn on and off 2. Don't have Sony Alpha logo 3. Quite warm a bit - feel different then i hold the camera grip (i think because of the material) 4. Octopus Battery grip wont change to second battery automatically when the 1st battery finish-up Added on February 16, 2009, 4:28 pmQUOTE(dingenius3 @ Feb 16 2009, 04:24 PM) there is a chance that the VG shutter spoil better let go, before its too old This post has been edited by v1rtual: Feb 16 2009, 04:28 PM

LOL i wonder how they calculate that price... or just pick out from the sky issit.. haha  r u referring to the one with multiple pockets for storage? I'm not talking about that one. the one i'm referring to is just the vest which u put on over your normal clothing. has a big alpha logo on it.
