Powerex Pro's are very thin on the ground in the UK.

Yes at 200 Powerex are faster, but at 300 they become slower...

@ 300th Pop

1) Eneloop 2450 mAh Pro @ 2.5 sec

2) Powerex 2700 mAh Pro @ 2.7 sec

3) Powerex 2600 mAh @ 2.9 sec

5) Eneloop White 1900 mAh @ 3.6 sec

7) Powerex 2700 mAh @ 5.8 sec

I'm referring to the Powerex 2700 mAh. There is a Powerex 2700 mAh Pro which is faster.

I wouldn't bother too much about the recycle times. Anything under 5 secs is still fast. Eneloop or Powerex both quite capable.

It gives them lower down the page .....

RECYCLE TIME (each brand tested at 5th, 100th, 200th, 300th, and 400th pop):

The times in seconds are given.

eneloop pro vs powerex, I have the impression (just impression) that the powerex last longer in the flash.

I have bought the ikea ones but not tested yet.

Powerex 2700 last slightly longer but recycle times are double the eneloops once you get over about 200 flashes..... See......

Sanyo Cadnica Ni-Cads used to have the fastest re-cycling times in flashguns. I've still got a set over 10 years old. I'll have to test them against the Eneloops.

EDIT: Just dug them out after at least a year without charging. Two were at 1.25V on the charger and the other two were 0V...... 30 secs in an old Tandy pulse charger took them up enough to put into the Technoline BL700N for re-cycling along with the other two.

Flashgun test toomoorroow.

It all depends on how many shutter presses your index finger is good for

Using Pixel Shift and finding a different way of holding a cup of tea would greatly improve it's life

Be very careful with batteries from supermarkets etc. They often change to cheaper rubbish. I bought some Lidl ones and they were good. Luckily I only bought a single pack of 4 a year later and they were absolute junk. Marked 2300 mAH charged about 10 times since and never got better than half of that i.e. 1150 mAH from every battery

The originals still get 2300 mAH and are very consistent. Obviously some cost cutting has taken place.

Standard Eneloops are OK for a flashgun they can be re-charged a lot more times than the PRO's can. 3,000 times against 500

It's unlikely that you will ever use the full capacity so the standard one's will charge up quicker if you use a charge-discharge-charge cycle.

The SMC version certainly wasn't a budget lens it cost about £180. There were budget versions of it issued later including one labeled Takumar.

At the time the F 50mm f/1.4 cost £100.
