They just last and last. When I left for the UK on May 24, I had five
sets of fresh lithium AAs with me. I'm not yet done with the third
set, after 3300 exposures or more. And I've been using the AF quite a
bit lately.

A while back I posted a few questions about battery consumption

using Lithium AA batteries, so I gave it a try.
It's been a few weeks, and to my surprise I got to 1471 shots
before the low battery indicator came on. I changed out the set
then, even though I could probably squeeze some more shots out of
them. (The lithium's are now in a flash unit, and seem to be
working adequately, though not on par with fresh batteries.)
That's almost entirely manual focus shooting with virtually no use
of the RTF - but I've come round to the opinion that the Lithium's
are the way to go. Thanks to all who offered up their advice!
