It's mainly to save a little weight. I rarely shoot more than 80 rolls of film a year, spread over various cameras, so the lithiums should last me atleast 2 years or so. I use 1500 mAh NiMh for my flashes, but find that they "leak" current a lot - I'm always charging and swapping batteries, and they of course always go dead when I really need a fast recycle time. Thanks for your help, -Terje * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
