Battery Bargain ??

[dances_w_clouds]

I thought I had a very good deal on batteries for my Canon & Mamiya cameras until I expected them to ship them to my address. Good thing I rechecked the order before confirming it. Bit much for regular mail don't you think ???



Maybe the $20 price I was paying here for 1 battery is actually a good deal

I have been seeing a lot of that lately. Great price till you see the rip off for shipping.

I get these Chinese dog collar batteries for my RZ and my Canon F1 on Ebay.

how long do they last?

[Mainecoonmaniac]

They last a while. I'm not sure as long as Duracells. I put them in my RZ during my day long winter hike. But they're so cheap just carry spares in your camera bag. I used to pay $6 for my Duracells these are a way better deal.

There was an Amazon dealer a while ago who had Tri-X 36 exposure for $1.50 a roll - shipping was $5.25 a roll within the USA. I might need to order some of those batteries for my RZ.

A lot of this shipping overcharge is being done by sellers through Amazon.

If you purchased through them you need to contact their fraud dept..

I've been paying about $9 each for mine,one for the RZ and one for the light meter.Nice find!

When looking for this particular battery I found better deals when looking for a non-photo use where it was half the price for an identical battery. As soon has Photo was added to the package it was worth more? I can order 5 and get a free key chain light delivered here for less than $35. As long as that damn Energizer bunny doesn't get in my way I should be happy.
