Mike, I typically get anywhere from 30 to 50 rolls of 24 or 36 exp. from a set of batteries. I use the on board flash fairly often (~25%) and drive my 35-70/2.8 and 80-200/2.8 in AF mode ~70% of the time. I also shoot in the cold quite a bit, and have not had a change in useage. Sounds like yours is battery unfriendly. I can get CR123 batteries for any where from $4 US to $7 US (each). Does the camera operate properly otherwise?

[v04.n261/8] Message: 8 Hi everybody, snip >>>>>>>>>> So, all you F70 users out there, let me know how many rolls you typcially get from a fresh set of brand-name lithiums. If you use the pop-up flash, please indicate what percentage of shots this is used for; also say if you use MF or AF. Thanks in advance to everybody who replies.
