I've just ordered one of these 72 LED lights from Amazon £9.99 free del.

They also have an AmTech one for £3.48. It might be the same, but, I've see the Rolson one and was quite impressed so that's the one I've gone for.

Take 4 AA's (hopefully OK on NiMh)

XnView (Freeware) http://www.xnview.org is one of the best programs I've come across for joining images precisely. Just do all the PP work in PS save as jpegs (tiffs might also work) then use "create strip of images" in XnView.

Sounds like a nice little earner!

You might stand a better chance if you put in your location?

Just get an AF200T of ebay.... accurate manual power setting down to 1/8th on manual. I checked 1/4 power on an AF400T with a Shepherd 1/3 stop flashmeter and it was 1 1/3 stops down instead of 2.

About 454 comments so far on this BBC page Quite a lot of complaints about no left margin, but it seems that as usual the BBC are ignoring what people want. Someone has even wrote a script to override the missing margin, but there's a comment that it's like putting lipstick on a pig

RiceHigh is an electronics engineer by profession and has done some in depth tests on all kinds of batteries on the K-m and K-x so his advice is good.

Nothing wrong with Lithium AA's except the cost. I saw them in Tesco's last week for £4.99 for 4 which is a good price.

I don't have a K-x so I've no personal experience with these batteries. The *istDS used to work great on the original Panasonic NiMh batteries charged in a good pulse charger. It did have problems with other batteries such as Ansmann and Energiser.

I've still got the original Panasonic 1500mah batteries and they still work well in flashguns.

7Day seem to have a new version of Panasonics 2600mah at £8.99 link

They also have the Infiniums 2100mah at £5.99 or Eneloops 2000mah at £6.99

So the new Panasonic 2600mah has 30% more capacity than the Eneloops and assuming that Eneloops do 400 shots the Panasonics should do at least 520 shots, but might also deliver higher power.

Charging twice will usually increase the capacity. The second charge only need to be for an hour or two. A good charger is essential.

Panasonic own Sanyo who make Eneloops.

It's worth reading what RiceHigh has said about the K-x and rechargeable batteries and chargers.

He does come up with some good info now and then

I often wondered about that. In the street where I was born the houses had low brick walls with large sandstone copings and you could see where the railings had been burnt off. My mother told me they were removed during the war. I always thought it was a bit cheeky not to bring them back

Worcestershire sauce is horrible stuff anyway
You won't find anybody in Wigan putting that on
