Hi Martyn, that one looks interesting. $275 is a lot of money for a=20
hunk of plastic and a bit of wire, but I've learned that all this=20
stuff is expensive.
On his site, he lists 4 pounds including cells. Do you think it's=20
really 8? But I like this idea since you can always find D-cells, a=20
good backup to have with you.
Ditto on the Portabrace. We've even sent them back for custom work,=20
change a flap or make a new cable port, and they're very accommodating.
