It should be delivered within some weeks (hum we'll see about that :-) but one can always live on hope). As for the battery update: the lowest price I could find lithium D123A type cells so far is 306 BEF a piece. This corresponds to a little over 8 USD a piece. So two batteries sets you back at 16 USD. If you take 35 films for one set of batteries, than this amounts to 0.46 USD battery cost for one film of 36 pictures. Only real life testing will tell, however :-) Pascal Belgium - -------------------------------------------------------- Sent on a Macintosh PowerBook G3, the fastest laptop on the planet - -------------------------------------------------------- <<< PGP public key available on request >>>
