Keep em coming !! I need all these stories of child-related-poverty. I
store them in a separate email folder, and forward a few on at random to my
girlfriend when she starts to get broody .... !! ;-)
<OM content>
Of course, my solution to the Metz / flash problem ..... got a housemate who
is heavily into photography (albeit M*n*lta), and borrow his Metz when
required. All I needed to invest in was the SCA adaptor for OM !! These
Metz units are nice, and very powerful. Not just "brightness" type
powerful, but "adaptability" type powerful too. Top stuff. Still use the
T20 or T32 for more "subtle" occasions though !!

Subject: re:OT: [OM] which metz flash ?
<snip>Questions:
a. Do you use a separate power pack or the battery cluster in the handle?
b. If you use the battery cluster, how many rolls of 36-exp film can you
typically burn before having to change battery clusters?
</snip>
Ah, I was kind of hoping you wouldn't ask that! The answers are (a) I have
the battery cluster in the handle, and (b) not many.... maybe only 2 or 3 -
however the battery cluster I have is quite old and probably needs
replacing. Of course I'd love to get a separate power pack but that looses
out to new shoes for the kids/daughter wanting to go to university/family
wanting to eat food every week ......
