Bill-
The Alkaline will throw your metering off. I don't know exactly how much, but
it is significant. I also don't know if it will hurt the meter. But I know
this, my meter is dead, and I'd love to blame Everready for it!

Subject: [OM] OM 1 Question - 1.35V Battery
Can you use the Alkaline 1.5V battery as opposed to the 1.35V Mercury cell.
Will it give accurate readings and will it mess up your camera. Thanks in
advance for letting me tap into this wondeful shared body of knowledge. Bill
