I am a Slovak guy, who started to shoot 6 years old with daddys medium format all manual Ljubitel, which is very simple and easy to use (third camera down http://www.thecamerasite.net/06_TLR_Cameras/Pages/lubitel.htm)<br />then I used film SLR for years, this was Zenit 11 with external meterig, this is real robust thing rather easy to use with really goot pics (http://www.pkim.org/files/pfotozenit11.jpg)<br />and the digi era? well, it started for me with the olympus C 740UZ, them I moved to Fuji S9600 where I finally discovered thanks to raw, what it means when the sensor is big, and this year in january I have finally got the K-x, which for me is just the perfect camera :)<br />sorry for making you reading this, and I am very glad that I found this blog of Yours<br />best regards!Rastislav Staniknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-76311287689858968652010-03-15T18:46:42.594-07:002010-03-15T18:46:42.594-07:00@Rastislav, thank you for the visit and comment. I also note longer battery life on MF lens. But in your case, you have both MF and SR off on tripod. Perhaps the AF and SR mechanics do take out more battery juices than MF on a tripod.Hin Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11542007867767875530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-35373533067153210482010-03-15T16:18:26.483-07:002010-03-15T16:18:26.483-07:00I have one on my own, use always properly charged Sanyo NiMH 2700 and get around 500 shots with AF, some LV, some videos and flash use<br />but I was curious and put the K-x on a tripod, set the drive mode to remote, switched to MF and I got quite good number of 2754 shots, with time to time chcecking pics on the LCD<br />I think this is good news for anyone doing animation or sequenciesRastislav Staniknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-73462314170683605962010-02-11T16:52:42.914-08:002010-02-11T16:52:42.914-08:00I have been using Sanyo Eneloop battery combo with charger that I bought from Amazon and I have not ran into battery issues.Hin Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11542007867767875530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-27365756204825919512010-02-09T01:39:59.729-08:002010-02-09T01:39:59.729-08:00What about the batteries Hin?<br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-1445690969684262242009-11-30T09:02:21.120-08:002009-11-30T09:02:21.120-08:00That&#39;s a crazy good bokeh you have on your duck shot!
