Dave, this is a great point. I have known this of the K-1OOO and I have wondered if this is true of the ME Super and other Pentax film SLR's? Any idea?

On a battery note, I have had some wazzo energizer hearing aid batteries in both my K1OOO's and they are still going strong. The meter is fast and responsive.
