I was pleasantly surprised when I found a carrier for 6 x AA cells as well as the carrier for the D-Li90 battery. Next time I forget my charger on a two week trip I won't run out of juice when the bison are mating. (2 years ago. Still aggravating).

Pick up a Pentax SF10, Sigma 28-70mm F3.5-4.5 Epsilon and three rolls of film for $25. A roll of Elite Chrome 160T, T400 CN and gold super 200 all expired around Y2K. Not a bad deal at all.

My first Pentax digital made me very battery cautious, causing me not only to buy the extra grip for each succeeding body, but a couple of spare batteries as well.

No grip for me (well, I do have, but never use it), but several spare batteries is a must for me when going camping.

A car charger is also good to have when travelling in areas where power plugs are few and far between.

That is one very good all-round lens

A K-01 body from a forum member. I like it.

**csa** · 10-24-2015, 10:09 AM

Ohhh, I like that evil purchase!

Down that long, winding road; that is on my list to purchase.

Albert, that's a great addition. Where did you find the extra carriers?

Are they not standard with the BG-5?

Both types certainly came with both my BG-4 clones (and one of those is now modded to fit the K-3 - some clones can be modded but others cannot because of the diameters of the steel pins)

As above, they are standard with the D-BG5 grip. That was my pleasant surprise: two carriers, one 6xAA, one 1xD-Li90

Thanks, I wasn't sure as I haven't ordered the grip.

A Canon (yeah, I know, I know lol ) Powershot S80 for my throw-in-my-rucksack backup (running CHDK, of course) and a Canon (I know, OK ?) Powershot G5 as a potential IR conversion. I snagged the G5 for 10 GBP so I couldn't say no, although it has a slight fault with the memory card cover that will need fixing because it pops open and cuts the power lol.

Same, here. If Pentax made 'em, I'da bought one. Space at a premium in my work go-bag.
