Does the EH-5 AC Power Adapter still exist?

[javan_ivey]

I've searched high and low. Nobody has this AC Adapter in stock. Is it still manufactured? Does anybody

have one they don't want? Is there an after market one? It is absolutely imperative that I have one of

these for the time lapse work that I am doing.

 

Thanks,

--Javan

Hi Javan,

 

I can only answer for the U.S. Market which I am responsible for.

 

We are awaiting a shipment of EH-5's right now to fulfill existing orders. If you don't have an order in now for one, you may not get one.

 

It will come to the end of its life shortly and will be replaced by the EH-5a in the U.S. market.

 

The EH-5a works with the new D300 and will work with the D100. It is slightly smaller and will cost about the same, probably exactly the same price as the current EH-5 in the U.S.

 

I cannot speak for any other markets or regions.

 

Best,

Does the Power Adapter EH-5a charge the batteries when plugged in? I have the Nikon d-300 and the multipower MBD10 handle.
