Q: 3. If you please, advise if this Pentax AF201FG Flash comes with batteries, if so, now many & what kind?Thanks

A: Mine included (2) AAA batteries that had a silver jacket but did not indicate any brand, manufacturer, or country of origin (nor any voltage). I would urge you to NOT use these 'free' batteries in the flash, because one of the two leaked acid at both ends and partially corroded the contact at the bottom of the battery compartment... I'm very P.O'ed about that!!! I purchased some Energizer 'Ultimate Lithium' AAA batteries to use going forward; bought them in a bulk pack at one of the big warehouse clubs for the lowest per battery cost. Lithium is known to have a long shelf life, while Rechargeable batteries typically will lose charge over time and they actually have an initial voltage of something less than 1.5 Volts (typically only 1.35 to 1.4+ or so) and rechargeables also lose voltage over a period of a few weeks.
