Merry Xmas to all.
Finally arrived home with only a six hour delay. KLM floew us to Humberside from Schiphol as Teesside was closed due to bad weather. A coach then broughht us to Teesside airport.
So happy to be with my wife and family.
So this morning brought the 50-135, 70mm Ltd, 100mm macro, Pentax-F 1.7x and O-ME53. Sorted! Will be playing all afternoon after Xmas dinner.
Wishing all of the community a peaceful day and hope that you and yours have a safe, healthy and content New Year.
Sincerely
Gary

Just bought an AF 160.
Under 'Power Source' the manual states '..rechargeable NiCad type not usable). There's no explanation as to why.
Can anyone tell me why, please, and what the consequences would be if I did use NiCd (or preferably NiMh)?
Thanks!
Only difference is voltage levels. Slightly lower voltage per cell. Typically 1.35v per fully charged "rested" cell. On charge voltage may reach 1.6v or higher.Just bought an AF 160.

The circuit may be sensitive to low voltage? What do the destructions say you need to use?

With you being away the best gift you can give your wife is your time, everything else is worthless.
Very true, she did say that I only needed to get back in time for Xmas. The deed is done however, so providing the weather in Holland and the UK does not get much worse, I should make it.With you being away the best gift you can give your wife is your time, everything else is worthless.

K10D - is gold jewellery as good an investment as it used to be in the Middle East? When I was in Saudi 10+ years ago, it was sold by the weight of the gold so an ingot cost the same as something beautifully crafted. Mrs Oggy has some really nice things.
Gold is still sold by weight only, you do not pay for the workmanship and the price is the spot price that day.cardiff_gareth wrote:

Gareth, I seem to remember that WIFE stands for Washing, Ironing, Film, Etcetera. I could be wrong though?
If my wife sees this it would probably mean Won't Iron For Ever!

Very welcome.
