Hi all,

I'm back on the list after some weeks being busy with everything else (work, 
buying OM equipment, taking pictures).

Sorry to hear about the quake. I hope all list member, their families and 
friends are well and safe. To me, living i Northern Europe, earthquakes are 
something strange; I have never experienced a phenomenon like this.

It it a coincidence that people used Olympus cameras in Olympia? Or does the 
city name lead to autosuggestion when people go and buy cameras? Once there was 
a german typewriter manufacturer named OLYMPIA. Do residents in Olympia also 
prefer OLYMPIA-typewriters? (Or have they in the past  - in these days 
mechanical typewriters may be on the recess due to the lack of email 
capabilities...)

A more OM-related question: I've bought a Bounce grip 2 for my OM2 (the one 
baptized with the sweat of Jon spencer, if you remember). It works well, but I 
am curious abut the extra power supply from the batteries in the grip. What 
happens if i use NiMH- or NiCd rechargeables in the flash together with 
non-rechargeables in the grip? Do the different voltages/capacities mean 
anything? In which way does the flash make use of the extra batteries? The 
power flow must be different from one type of cell to another. Can I find a 
documentation on this -quite specific - topic?

Regards

Bernd
