Since I use the Elan 7E and BP-300 (powered by AA > cells), do you think I should go back to CR123 cells for macro shooting? Sorry, I don't know the answer to this. I am not familiar with these items. If it helps, I will measure the clearance from tripod ring to, say, lens throat on the camera body. Then, you could, probably, work out if the Battery Pack will foul the tripod ring (I think this is what you are concerned about). Let me know, off list if you prefer.
