Yikes! This is contrary to my experience. My OM-2 was extremely
unreliable for most of the last decade *because* I was using MS76
batteries. Since I switched to 357's, no problems. (this after
several attempts at servicing and an overhaul) I was about to
give up on the old Oly until I saw Lee Hawkins FAQ and John's
Camtech web page, and discovered the really problem!
Unless you have no other option, use 357 silver oxides! The lower
internal resistance makes it possible for the camera to draw about
50% more current without causing the voltage droop that can lockup
your camera. Well worth the lower capacity, IMHO.
