Thank you Danny, those are 18500 batteries too bad the longer 18650 won't fit

A member here once opened up one and made photos of what's inside, it was indeed two normal Li-on cells like AA but the problem is there are several different sizes

If these will fit that would be great, you would have a 2600 mAh than link

At least the DA*55 compared to the FA50 the DA is better from what I've seen in terms of image quality. They preform quite the same but the DA*55 is sharper wide open and the way they render the OOF is also the same.
The FA43 is not as sharp lens wide open either but for the rest I don't really know, I haven't really looked at enough photos from that lens to judge it.
By the looks of it the FA43 seems to be warmer and shows a bit more "emotion" than the DA*55 which is cooler and scientific it seems.

Was talking about the lens resolving power, I should have stated that clearer.
And I haven't said the FA limited are overall better than the DA limited (or vice versa) or that the DA*55 is the best prime I only said it was better than the FA50 and the FA43

Aren't all lenses designed for optimal overall preformance?
I don't know what you mean with absolute measurements though

This just a feeling though but I've the idea that FA lenses worked better on film than on digital, do you think that's true?
I've nothing to based this on though it's just the little things you pick up when you read what others write.

I've asked this before but forget it

Does anybody know what size of Li-Ion cells there are in the battery pack?
I wonder if you can make a high capacity one for less money.

That was where the conversation was about but thank you for making things clearer.

That's quite strange, have you tried several RAW Programs?
You can download a trial off Lightroom, phase one or silkypix and she what they do.
There are also free RAW programs but I forgot their name

The waiting is almost over Coker

Good luck Ian thinking this one out.
It depends on your shooting style if the AF indication is a big miss or not.

I believe with the K10D you can set the AF indication off so you can try it out how it would be.

Ian this is the viewfinder and indeed you don't see the greyish square and you don't see which focus point is selected in the viewfinder and I didn't said that

I said: "The K-X still have the brackets and with that it's quite easy to guess where the focus point is"
As you can see the brackets suround the focus point so if you select a focus point on you can see on the LCD screen which point is selected and you can then easily guess where the focus point is in the viewfinder because of the brackets.
Flossie said you had no way of knowing where the focus point are but because of the brackets that isn't true.
