Even though CR123s have greater power capacity (see my previous post), I've always seen them selling for less. Go figure. The current prices at B&H (USD): Battery qty 1-6 qty 12+ ------- ------- ------- CR2 $4.95 $3.95 CR123 $3.99 $3.25 > The two CR123 lithium batteries set me back at 360 BEF > each, that is 9.5 USD, so 19 USD for a full set. Ouch! Time to do better shopping! (Wonder what extra charges are involved in international ordering from B&H... since the CR123s I just bought there were made by Varta, there'd be something really silly about how many times the batteries would go back and forth between the US and Europe.) -Jeff
