(That and a drawer that's full of Pentax manual focus lenses.) AA are everywhere. Recharging is sometimes impossible. The set of liths that I have in the camera now have lasted for over 1400 exposures (no more than half a dozen with flash) and show no signs of pooping out. But, as I said earlier, what I really want is for CV to produce a 6 to 10 megapixel M-mount rangefinder on a (slightly modified) R2A/R3A body, powered by AAs. Would be a killer travel/documentary camera. And cheap. --John J Mason Charlottesville, Virginia DEMOCRACY OF SPEED, a Photo Documentary Project: http://www.people.virginia.edu/~ds8s/john-m/john-m.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
