Thanks for the link!
Wow! Those are expensive! Besides the physical spacer, all that's in them is a single Schottky barrier diode (which gives a 0.2 Volt drop when forward biased - just what you need). I'd just get a Schottky diode from an electronics supplier for a dollar or so and solder it in line with the power lead to the battery (you only have to remove the camera's base plate, IIRC). But even having a technician solder it in shouldn't be too expensive. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
