It is well made and as sturdy as a smallish piece of plastic will ever be. It does not interfere with loading film, and I have not noticed my fingers in any of the Heliar shots. Next weekend at Photokina I will have a look at Tom Abrahamsson's new RapidGrip, which is bigger, heavier and has room to store batteries.
