Vertical Grip for Sony alpha 100?
Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2008 5:07 am
I've seen the Dicain VG-1, the Optekas, and such.
All seem to come from South Korea, China, or Malaysia.
In fact, I've never seen one by Sony yet (but read hints Sigma makes one,) and they widely range in price, some for the same model : $50-$350.
...and mostly for the a700, a200, etc, not specifying the a100.
So, my main resource seems to be eBay, from far East countries, and I've heard about 'positive feedback' mills and such that make 'power sellers' not that great.
Is there any place (after pages and pages of google searching, and site referrals,) where I can find one? Adorama, KEH, and other reputable places don't seem to carry them.
Are any of these far East companies (My Buddy Club, Link Delight, Digital Rev, Roxen,) legit? They all sound shady to me. Plus, if any are good, how long would shipping time be? A week? Two months?
I'm thinking there really is no Sony a100 vertical grip.
Any help?
