Nikon MB-D80 Multi-Power Battery Pack for the Nikon D80 Digital SLR Camera The Nikon MB-D80 Multi-Power Battery Pack holds 2 EN-EL3e Lithium-Ion rechageable batteries, effectively doubling your total shooting time. Can also hold a AA battery holder (included), so users can use AA batteries as a power backup. The MB-D80 Multi-Power Battery Pack provides an AF-on button, vertical firing release with lock, and front and rear command dials.
Customer Review: Good but not yet great.
The MB-D80 is a useful device but it is big and bulky and not very well tailored for the D80 Cam. The grip doesn’t match or feel like it matches the camera very well. Attaching it to the cam takes some finger power. The shutter release has no real halfway point and the release itself feels very rough. Composing and trying to halfway press the button doesn’t work at all. I need this because I shoot vertical 90% of the time, but if you don’t then I don’t recommend this as a much needed attachement. The added weight does stabalize the cam and having the backup battery is great for the 1000s of photos I take.

Customer Review: Great For All Purpose Lens
Purchased this lens prior to my trip to Mexico and very glad I did. I’m still new to Digital SLR so technically, I can’t elaborate but I will say that not having to carry three lenses with me on my photo shoots was awesome! I could attach this lens, pocket a couple of filters and shoulder the camera as I hit the beach or the nature trails of Playa del Carmen. This was certainly one of the best investments I ever made. Consider the 62mm 1-A filter for general purpose and protection and also the UV and Circular Polarizer filters for outdoor use. My photos have been phenominal and the rave reviews from friends makes me know that in spite of my pro skills with the camera, the lens is making up for it! A must have for Sony Alpha Owners or as in my case, the Minolta Maxxum 5D.
Customer Review: a travel photographer’s dream
As a professional landscape photographer who feels compelled to carry a wide variety of lenses, I found this lens has helped me lighten my carry on case. This is a versitile lens that provides fine steady quality under most landscape conditions. It replaces 3 lenses that I used to carry on my travels. The reproduction quality that I get from most enlargements from my new alpha 700 with this lens is top quality. As others note, I wish it had sturdier materials but if it gets banged up, it is reasonably inexpensive to replace. If you add a set of macro filters, it does a great macro job on flora. You will find that on most shoots, you will likely use this lens over 75% of the time. That helps keep the dust and dirt from getting on the sensor when you change more frequently as I used to do.
