Larry, good observation with the 2-pins on the DSTE Charger vs 3-pins on the Pentax original.
Here is the surprise. When you slide off the interchangeable top plate - optional plates for all manufacturer's models are available for $ 2 - you notice there are actually 3 pins below. So don't know why they did not provide 3-pins on the top plate? May the Force be with you. Bipin. The whole goddamn world is turning insane. Photograph it before it disappears. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
