Yup. Note the 'S' (for silver) in the alternate number.
This is what I was talking about -- $2.20 is no bargain. You have to buy
at least 25 cells, but you probably know some other Olympus user who
needs them, and they have a long shelf life, anyhow. Not to mention that
the motor drive's LCD has a rather high drain. (I remove the cells when
I'm not using the motor drive.)
"The OM-4 has a higher drain than the OM-4Ti, but you can buy a lot of
357s for $300."
True, but inconvenience aside, a body with excessive current draw might
have other electrical problems. Caveat emptor.
