[OM] OM-1 battery dilemma

    Just purchased a Mint OM-1 md. My exitement over it's impending arrival
is tempered by the fact that it uses a battery not available in my area.
I've searched around the net and found two alternatives mentioned.

1) MR-9 adaptor for use with S76 silver battery

2) A zinc-air cell, which if I understand, directly replaces the mercury
cell with the correct voltage. There must be somthing wrong with this idea,
because it's cheaper then the MR-9.

Any input would be appreciated. When in doubt, I bring my camera q's
directly to Mt. Olympus.
