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.
Incindentally, after ~10 years of ownership, I just discovered that contrary to what's written everywhere, AF-500 FTZ flash CAN work with rechargeables AA-s. I am not sure how long they would last in it though.
