Pentax officially advised against them due to their higher voltage, though with the DC-DC switching regulators in modern electronics I seriously doubt there would be any issues. Probably just a legal CYA tactic, IMO. I only knew one person who used them and he did so without ever having any problems. And he was a Pentax rep. :) -- 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.
