I just change primes; too lazy to move.
Even on vacation I bring the 16-45, a 16 fisheye, 24/2.8, 35/2, 50 something, 85 or 90, 135 and 70-210.
Originally posted by dragomeda ...I bought K-m 1,5 year ago with zoom and 18-55 lens. I am happy with it. i wasn't able to buy any better camera for years, but I wonder what best batteries I can use to not run out of energy too fast. Energizer Ultra was for longest usage and cheap. Unfortunately, I can get them easily now. I do not know if they stopped it's manufacture? Can you recommend any better and easy to buy in UK?
And another question : If there is any option for K-m to use electric lead adapter to use constant energy source. Thanks.
The Sanyo Eneloop batteries are a good alternative. They are a hybrid rechargeable that doesn't lose charge over time like regular NiMH. You don't have to constantly recharge just to make sure the batteries are OK, and you don't have to replace them like with single-use lithiums. Several other brands have a hybrid or low-discharge battery but they all use different names. I'm not sure what is available in the UK.
Pentax offers an official AC adapter, the K-AC84, for your camera. Page 40 of the manual mentions it. It might be expensive. The K-m doesn't have an external socket for power like some other models so there are few third-party alternatives.
