Considering the premium price over generic replacement rubber, I was hoping these parts would come in Nikon packaging as validation that they are, in fact, genuine Nikon. That said, I saw nothing to make me question the parts. All the tiniest details and features matched with the parts I removed from the camera. The new parts fit perfectly.
Be sure you completely remove any old adhesive and clean the surfaces well. I used isopropyl alcohol. Both of the front grip components have features that tuck in around the lens mount. Start the installation there being careful to hold rest of the part away from the camera body so it doesn't stick in the wrong place. Once those features are completely tucked into place, lay the rest of the piece down carefully. Once in place, press the entire grip component thoroughly into the camera body to ensure good adhesion.
Excellent value for the money. This is my 2nd D700. I love this camera and the way it renders images without needing little or no post processing. I like its ergonomics. It is a hefty camera, built like a tank and I like the feel of its weight. It helps me steady for sharp images. I have later Nikon DSLR's but this has been and is my favorite.
So far so good. Really happy to have found what’s considered a “vintage” dslr now in such great condition. I have one that has over 277,000 actuations on it so I know they are work horses.
