NiMH C cells are fairly easy to come by; in Oz JarCar sell them, not sure
anywhere else, but any electronics stockist should have them. The ones I
have seen are 4500MAh.
The other alternative is the AA->C cell adapters, but of course this limits
you to the capacity of AA batteries; though they are then cheaper and more
universal.

Subject: Re: battery pack for Pentax af540
I have the powerpak III that Pentax sells using 'C' batteries. It
seems to work about as well as my Quantum Battery 2 packs that I used
with my metz and Pentax potato masher units. Recycle times are
fairly close. I found one minor advantage with the Pentax unit in
that when you have to do long sets of pics, you can install another
set of batteries when yours run out. Of course, the downside is that
you have to buy them each time.
I haven't yet seen any commercial pack for the 540 other than the
Pentax one.
