Hi James, Thanks for the info, I might try to track down a source of 1/3AA NiMH cells :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications.html - Rob: I just ordered a set from Batteries America <http://www.batteriesamerica.com>. They are 300 mAh cells... a bit beefier than the others I have. Cells were $2.95US each. Total cost, including pack construction and shipping was $54.90US. I should have them in a week, and will let you know how they work. -james - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
