RE: Eneloop batteries on DS or Flash?
Damnit - I have just spent more money that I didn't really need to! Seriously though, these sound like they will be the perfect answer for my flash and also for the istD now that it will be dormant as a backup body assuming the K10 takes over now it is on the scene. They are far from cheap in the UK...!

Re: Eneloop batteries on DS or Flash?
Quick question Do Eneloops require a special charger of can they be charged on a standard NiMH charger?

They are still Ni-HM chemistry so any charger capable of managing Ni-HM batteries will do, though to optimize performance you're best off using a charger that charges each cell independently rather than in sets of two or four. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
