I have to say that I used the Dl-1 batteries only once in my MX. Soon after that the light meter had to be replaced by the Pentax service. I can't say for sure that it was the the lithium battery that caused the failure of the light meter but it is probable. Enjoy, Alexander __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
