Yes, those are the ones. $65 ... yes, they were $80@ with shipping, I bought one first and tested it... I fitted them with AA Lithium batteries, seem to get several hundred exposures apiece that way and are very portable. I bought a 20 inch cube. Although I've made things like this before, the EZCube for $90 saves time and effort, and packs down very small, is completely collapsible/portable with virtually no effort at all. It works very nicely. I can fit it, two E-Flash panels, the SB-30, a pair of small clamp-on stands and a flash meter into a very small tote bag along with the *ist DS body, remote release, A50 Macro and 2x-S teleconverter. Add my small tripod, and I have "Tabletop-Studio- on-the-Go" in a bag, less than 12 pounds. (I've used the K10D with this setup but I find that 10Mpixel is really overkill for the table top work I've done. Nobody's making 13x19 presentation prints of stuff they have to sell on Ebay. ;-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
