VC7D grip for the 7D
1

I never bought a grip in my life.  The 7D was my first DSLR, then I switched to Nikon and they all had a  grip.
But still, the 7D is my favorite DSLR, and I just offered her a NOS VC7D. Have to admit this design with the hand position lower is just great.

It's just some glass, some silicon and magnesium. It isn't a religion.

That looks awesome. And the grip retains the finger groove like some of the Maxxum.

Ive had my Maxxum 7D with grip since they were first offered. I have a grip for my A700, and My A77. the added power ergonomics and enhanced balance of the grip makes them  very desirable.

I don't think any sony grip fits the 7D. I was talking of the sony grips on EvilOne photos: they look well made

Re: VC7D grip for the 7D

There use to be some non-OEM grips out there for the 7D. they were half the money of the KM grip. In hindsight, they were actually very good copies of the OEM grip. Most of the purists on this forum would bad mouth them as not being KM. If I was in need of a grip for my KM 7D I would not hesitate to get one of these non-oem grips.

The Sony grips will not fit the KM 7D.
