does not feel like metal does not match curve on body of camera [SEP] i am disappointed in this productit does not feel like metal it feels like plasticthe curve does not match the curvature of the there is a very slight gap between body and handgrip i will admit it is possible that i did not position it precisely though i made a great effort to do soi would have preferred a deeper inset but that is a stylistic thingthe part on the fron of the camera does not run all the way to the lens mount that leaves a gap between the edge of the handgrip and the lens mount that feels odd to my fingertips when holding the camerai really do not care for the surprise bonus the name and model number of the item are printed on the front of the handgrip that ugly surprise is nowhere to be seen on the nine photos of the product on the amazon sales page there is absolutely no practical reason for this to be therei am going to try to return the cheaper plastic version is superiorjerry
