According to Zeiss' tests, a while is 15 minutes (wrinkles are probable) up to 2 hours (wrinkles are certain to appear), depending on film and back used. They recommend a maximum interval of only 5 minutes between exposures. But have you ever noticed any ill effects due to film uneveness? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 08:43:58 -0700 From: "Daniel K.

I have a 4504 which I was trying to prove was good enough without an external battery pack.
 
I just bought a new battery holder for $28 and 6 nimh batteries at a local battery store (what a concept) for $2.89 each.  They are rated at 1600 mah each.
 
To test them for use at weddings, I tripped the flash on full manual and got 120 flashes in 10 minutes before the recycle time went over 6 seconds.
 
By the time I got to 140 flashes it was taking 20+ seconds to recycle.
 
Much better than NiCd so far.
