The EC can be very annoying in that you can wind and fire w/o batteries
resulting in no exposure. The EC2 made up for this, but the batteries were
the cause of most problems in all three models. Even if you could find the
batteries, you could bet they were already leaking in the packaging.
In working condition, the ECR with coupled rangefinder was a nice package.
The EC was one of the first cameras I trained on at Olympus in the late 70s.

No, the EC is nothing like the other old Oly RFs. It's a zone-focusing P&S,
more like an XA2 in function. Uses an odd mercury battery that is even more
rare than the 625. I didn't find much interesting about it.

Does anyone know about this camera? Is this based on the more popular 35 DC,
RD, SP series?
Is it a manual or auto exposure camera? What battery does it use?
What is interesting about this?
