Lithium batteriesClyde,
I bought one of these years ago on the recommendation of a local
camera shop for my 2sp when I mentioned I would be shooting in snow. From
memory it made it part way through the third 36 exp roll before the mirror
locked up and I went hunting for silver. And the temp was about 2C

This is what the FAQ says:
Also, a lithium cell the size of two SR44's will *not* work
properly in those cameras that take SR44's. It will power the
camera OK for a while, but its voltage will quickly drop below the
minimum necessary for proper operation.
My question is: how long is a "while?" Using OM4t's, can I get 4 OK weeks of
daily shooting? 2 weeks? 2 days? I'm interested in the cold weather
performance of lithium versus silver or alkaline.
