Thanks Lincoln for an actual report on Ni-MH performance in a viewer.  Now I 
can confindently go out and buy a pair of D cells and a charger.  I've seen 
the batteries for as little as $9 a pair, and a charger that will take Ds for 
$15.  Like you, I've been using AA Ni-MH batteries in my flashes for some 
months now with great satisfaction.  I use Sunpack 383 Supers heavily in 
professional application and I believe the Ni-MH outperform the nicads in 
number of flashes.  Nicads are still quite satisfactory however, when fully 
discharged before charging.  I only use chargers that will perform that 
function.  It's not necessary with the Ni-MH cells.  Radio Shack sells a line 
of these "conditioning" chargers.  They're inexpensive.
