You didn't "now" the right people, Mark. When
the 285 came out, everyone I knew, including the
pros, refused to buy the 285's due to the hefty
price hike, and just waited until the idiot
have-to-have-the-latest,
keeping-up-with-the-Smiths folks dumped their
283's cheap. I bought my first (Japanese) 283 at
list price; I bought my second (Korean) for $5 around 1993.
I RARELY use flash, so I never store batteries in
a flash other than in my Metz CL-45, where the IB
tells me to put SOMETHING in the battery
compartment. I probably ought to check it: I've
not used the monster for six or seven years.
For the other flashes, it is easier to carry a
pocketful of batteries and install them as needed..
