R8 body only =3D 2 X Lithium CR2 R8 + Winder =3D 2 X Lithium 123 =3D longer life ** R8 + Motor =3D 8 X AA ** I hope that after more than 12 months of improvement, the winder will not eat his battery as a vulgar F5 ;-) If the R8 motor still look like what I've seen at the Photokina it will compete with the SL Mot :-) Lucien BELGIUM
