I would use the MN-30 for the extra 1/2 fps but I wouldn't care for rechargeable for the film camera. The cost of disposable batteries is insignificant compared to the film/processing cost.
Yeah that's happened to me a couple times. Sucks when it's set to CH when it happens.And on a side note, it's a bright day outside, so shot half a roll of film in various exposure modes. Tomorrow it's expected to rain, so maybe I have time to finish the roll in cloudy weather. Had an "issue" with random exposures after I trip the shutter, but then I remembered to lock the side shutter release. D'oh!
Anyone try Enloop Pro batteries in their F5?
They work in mine

Digikey makes up custom battery packs. They are all strapped and welded, you just solder on to the +/- tabs of the back. They carry all the odd battery sizes.Here's a pic of an MN-30 ...
Here's a pic of an MN-30 in somewhat better condition, after a rebuild. That looks a pretty simple task: both battery strips and battery welders cost peanuts. Maybe strips aren't necessary if one uses tabbed cells, but tabless + new strips has worked better for me in the past. And since it's all Ni-MH, you don't have to calculate the tradeoff between capacity, charge rate and discharge rates as you would with Li-Ion.
If you don't want to do it yourself, any company that can rebuild computer battery packs would have no problem with this.
OK think I'll give them a try. Just paid too much for lithium batteries. And I searched for best price.
Alright folks, test roll processed, I scanned some samples at work (excuse the home-made negative holder, and no obvious defects or light leans. I don't remember which frames were in auto-mode, manual, and etc, but they were mostly well exposed.
