Well, I must be dicing with danger.
I use non OEM:
Batteries
Memory cards
Flash triggers
Fladhguns
Studio flash
Lenses
Straps
People who decide to decide what's 'dangerous' usually draw the line before batteries. They'll use 'reputable' memory cards, or they'll only use 3rd party lenses which offer something that OEM don't. But they refuse to accept that's a judgement call and the 'actual risk' is exactly the same.
It's frankly b******t. Of course that's just an opinion, whereas someone who's opinion is that off brand batteries are dangerous will quote the warranty but happily ignore the same warranty if they want to use Sandisk cards? Or Zeiss lenses?
