I was looking at the Opteka website and couldn't believe the prices!!!! I was just curious if anyone on here has dealt or bought any of their stuff?

Opteka has been around for years; they make a decent range of mid-range consumer accessories. I've bought otpical triggers, releases, etc.. work fine.

They do have fantastic prices. Some of the products are innovative as well. There might even be a PT discount in effect but with those low prices you won't save much. Thanks for pointing this vendor out to me. I overlooked some of their great deals. :thumbsup: :judge: :woohoo: :goodpost:

I was just curious because I want get a battery grip. I thought this might be the place to do it.

The grip price does look good. I use a Zeikos grip (from B&H) on my XSi and it works like a charm (ratings were as high or higher than the Canon model and half the price).

Suggest when you add the second battery, you use OEM battery to make sure they are in sync. I've had mine a couple of years and the batteries seem to last forever (and I shoot a lot).

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
