Nikon SD-8A Battery Pack

[Marv]

Has anyone tried this accessory? I'm thinking about buying it, but want to know if it is worth the effort in recycle time and capacity? Thanks.

It's pretty amazing - I used to have one when I shot weddings. My SB28 would last all night with a full set (total of 10) fully charged 2100mah NIMH batteries. Zero recycle time. It's more than just a battery holder - there's some electronics in it that help with this. Much better than a Quantum in my case - it's smaller and lighter so it will fit in a pocket. And it's relatively cheap, too.
