4.0 out of 5 stars A Necessity for the Pentax K-R, September 19, 2011

I recently purchased a Pentax K-R after my *istD died. What I loved about the *istD was the ability to use rechargeable, CRV3 or AA batteries. Without this adaptor, you cannot use AA batteries in the K-R. For me, it is nice to know if you are in a jam, you can run to the store and buy a few AA batteries to keep you powered up and snapping away. The adaptor doesn't seem like much and seems expensive for what it does, especially considering the older cameras didn't need an adaptor. That is why I rated it four stars instead of five. If you do not have this adaptor or extra rechargeable batteries, you will not be able to take pictures. I had that happen to me the second day I had the camera. After shooting a day of pictures, the rechargeable battery died. I did not realize the power would be depleted so quickly. I wanted to take pictures and couldn't until the battery charged up again, a couple hours later. That same night I bought this adaptor and a couple extra rechargeable batteries.

It's a really nice to have accessory with the K-r and comes handy when you have your LIon battery ran out. Feels not well built though.

So glad I bought this. When my charger quit on me in Europe, this was my backup. I had brought a couple of sets of AAs with me and was able to keep snapping pics to my heart's content. Saved me until I was able to locate the correct charger in a store days later.

Yes, it adds a bit of weight to the camera. But when the alternative is not getting any photographs of your priceless vacation, it seems a small price to pay.
