Just finished the third set of lithium disposables out of the five
sets i carried with me to the Isle of Man and UK. This set lasted
about 900 exposures, compared to the previous two running about 1300
apiece. Still, 3500 exposures on three sets of batteries isn't bad.

My first set of Lithiums went from about frame 60 to about frame
1000,with some RTF and
50/50 af,mf.
I bought a set of duracell 2050's and they lasted about 400 frames.
Mostly raw files this
time around
anf some RTF.

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!
