Just spoke with a Nikon USA rep today who said the 1999 catalog will be
available in 2-4 weeks. You can call their customer service at
1-800-NIKONUSA and they'll put you on their mailing list now for a 1998
catalog, or call in 2-4 weeks to get the 1999.

I assume you're referring to Lithium AA cells, in which case the
best price I've seen is at Unique Photo (www.uniquephoto.com).
Last time I checked, they were $2.10 each there.

Everytime I think that I have found a situation that will fool the F5's RGB

My suggestion is to keep the gear, take your money, beg for a little more from
someone, and buy a used telephoto and 2x converter.

either. Many people have said the F4 is Nikon's best
