I was going to take a few night photos in a location where I didn't want
to risk the K-5II or even the K20D, so I put a set new of Litniam
disposables into the old *ist-Ds. Well the damned camera won't turn
on. Tested the batteries and all were with specification for the camera
to turn on. Cleaned the battery contacts, (using a rubber eraser),
still no joy. Dragged out the external power supply, plugged it in and
into the camera, it comes right on. Last time I used it it worked fine
with disposable lithiums. This is quite annoying. The only reason that
I kept the camera was for just this occasion, it's not economically
repairable, and hell I could buy a K-7 or another K20D for 200-300
dollars. End of Rant. You can now return to your regularly scheduled
conversations.
