> CAUTION, the rated capacity of some brands is terribly overrated. I have well over 24 TENERGY High Capacity NiMH batteries (AA and sub-C), and NOT ONE has tested at more than 75% of the rated capacity. The sub c cells I have seen for sale are often 2,000mAh up to 4000mAh (Lumedyne ones are 3400). I assume you are saying you purchased some sold as 3400+/- and they were only 2200+/-. I shall have to research how to check the mAh with my multi meter. Thinking I need to test while charging or while the batteries are powering something and test in-line connecting the leads of the meter in the common part of the circuit.

So this is an old post. I can see no way to delete or edit. If you see something of interest, do not hesitate to contact me - however please do not be surprised to learn the item is no longer offered for sale.

Update from Promark, service center for Lumedyne (Lumedyne has closed). Min battery uses 9 sub-c NiCad 1.2v 1800mAh OR NiMH 1.2v 3400mAh As the Regular battery uses 2 sets of 9 wired in parallel the mAh are doubled. Voltage remains the same. So using Gary's charger specs above, the: NiMH Minis should be charged with an 1700mAh+/- charger, and a Regular with a 3400mAh charger. The older NiCads, having much less amperage, Gary mentions charging with 1/10 of the batteries mAh.

Thanks Gary for all your details. My batteries are not marked at all. One (of 3) pack does have a sticker saying to dispose of nicad batteries properly. No volts nor amps shown, all are sub c. All packs are 3 rows of 3 cells wired in series. A mini pack has one set of 9, a regular two sets of 9 w/ the two sets wired together in parallel. I assume this mans the reg. pack has double the amps but the same 10.8v. In addition some are marked 24 or 25 and others 24c, 25c. The 'c' versions have a smaller charging port, perhaps 2.1mm vs. 2.5mm and have the 'Pepi' light when they get to temp. I had mentioned the voltage and amperage in the above post as that is what was listed in an advert I saw for replacement NiMH batteries. I have also seen 1.2v cells w/ 3600mAh NiMH which I assume would also work. I plan to purchase some. More amps presumably means more flashes. The Lumedyne web site says NiMH deliver 50% more flashes. As for chargers I have a 017 (dead) Lumedyne double charger with one fast and one trickle lead. No voltage or amps are marked/displayed. Have had it perhaps 30 years and since my packs all seem to have nicads I would assume their nicads can be quick/fast charged. I have noted the specs of Lumedyne 'wall' chargers / sold fleaBay items: 16v 700mAh, 15v 600mAh & 14w 360mAh (i.ebayimg.com/images/g/8scAAOSwLVpjBVZ6/s-l1600.jpg, i.ebayimg.com/images/g/rHwAAOSwGCBiyEDW/s-l1600.jpg) In looking at Tenergy NiCd/NiMH RC chargers they offer a 12v 1000mAh / 2000mAh (selectable). Also one that is 900mAh / 1800mAh (selectable). Both show a green light [smart] when charged and adapt to the voltage of the battery. Perhaps one of these is what you got? I would think their 12v 900mAh / 1800mAh would be best using the 900 setting for nicads and the 1800 for NimH

From lumedyne.com: "The NiCd and NiMh batteries share most of the chargers with full compatibilty" I did see a sold (fleaBay) Lumedyne charger that was marked 16v 700mAh. As to buying NiMH batteries Lumedyne does not disclose what the specs. are but I believe them to be 1.2v 4200mAh. Would like to know if anyone has found a third party charger??

Thanks for the response. I measured the distance from the camera to both the very left and right side of the wall included n the field of view. Camera leveled on a tripod. Wall was only 12 feet wide, hence the camera 9 feet away. Am thinking of finding a warehouse or other wall where the camera can be placed further away but as my intended use includes interior shots I wanted to test in an actual setting.

Anyone here have this lens? What I found when photographing a flat wall: (The center is sharp on all tests) With focus set to 9 feet (distance to the wall), right side was out of focus, left side is quite sharp. Set to 5 feet the right side improves. Set to 4 feet - both sides slightly soft. Set to 3 feet the right side is sharper than the left. MY QUESTION for users: Should I order another or is this an inherent design issue - i.e. field curvature?
