Just had a look on ebay and the websites of the usual suspects. Still no
trace of a split-image screen for my K-7. Or am I missing something?
At last there's hope the clone batteries which I've ordered in Honkong
will arrive before the weekend.

I was planning on ordering some clone batteries, but with two Pentax
batteries -- one in the camera and one in the grip-- I haven't been
able to exhaust them. I've tried: more than 1500 frames without
recharging. I carry four lithiums for backup, but haven't had to use
them.

Why wouldn't you guys, who have the grip, use AA-rechargeables with it?
I thought it was a big advantage of the grip for the K-7.

I use them in my flashes, supplement by 6 C cells when it matters.
They're fine for that, but I wouldn't want to fool with them in the

They aren't. The size is different and the little tab for gripping them

I suspect the latter. Just like the batteries.

The new batteries are far superior to those used in the K10 and 20D.
The change was a positive step.

The DA* 60-250 seems to have less initial problems than did the
earlier DA* lenses. And Pentax took their time with it. Well worth the

Absolutely agreed. But they took over three years. Imagine they did
that all the time. But the WR kit lenses were a stroke of genius in
terms of lowering the entry hurdle for a weather sealed kit from by
about a grand. That really gives me hope.
