I carry one battery holder with 8 alkalines. They've been used one day in
the past four months. I'm now using the MN-30 battery and charger
(admittedly almost $500 for the set) but I know only have to recharge it
(takes 100 minutes) about every six weeks. And I shoot about 20 rolls of
film a week with it or more. Believe it or not.
