There's been so much talk about these lately, and it seems people are
paying quite a lot for them too in some cases. If anyone in the UK is
interested, I can get these at a price somewhat below most high street
stores, i.e. 85p each including VAT and postage to UK addresses. Minimum
order of four please. If anyone's interested, contact me off list.
These are genuine silver oxides, I use them in my own OM and other cameras
and have found them to be good performers. They usually last 3-6 months in
my OM-4 (*not* Ti!)
FWIW, here's what the catalogue lists as alternatives:
SR44: Duracell D357 Ever-Ready BSR44H Ray-o-Vac RW42 Renata 7 Ucar 357
These designations may differ outside the UK of course....
I may also be able to get HD625 Mercury cells for the OM-1 series - they
are listed in the catalogue as "while stocks last". If available, they'd
be 150p each including postage. If you have a Maplin store near you,
that's where the mercury cells come from; the silver oxides are from a
trade supplier (Maplin's price for SR44 is 175p). Be aware that if you mail
order from Maplin, they want £3.95 p+p if your order is less than 30
pounds! Again, if interested contact me off-list.
Regards
Richard
