Hi Herb, > "that's what is recommended in the manual, S76 batteries. > hard to argue with that." > Thanks Herb! I guess I forgot that. I was reading all over the web about "the Pentax battery replacement issue" but I was know now reading about other Pentax models, like the Spotmatic, without realizing it.
Got myself confused! :-) I still like the CR1/3N or DL-1, though. I do available light shots a lot, when it's fairly dark, and I can remember at least one occasion when I had to change the batteries and one of the two button cells turned over as I was loading them. Took a while to figure out what was wrong! Harder to do with the single CR1/3N! And that shelf life! Thanks for the response! - THaller
