Is this right?
No. You can get it converted, or buy an MR-9 adapter so that
SR44W's, Silver 76's, etc. can be used in the camera. I own an MR-9
for my OM-1n. Great converter. Also drops the voltage down so that
there's no meter errors. John Hermanson (Camtech, www.zuiko.com)
sells 'em, as do the folks at CRIS Cameras (www.criscam.com).
David McSparron is wrong, wrong, wrong. You might wanna point that
out to him. ;-)
Hello, I'm new to the list but I thought I'd put my two cents in
here. Mercury batteries are available at -
http://www.photobattery.com/px625.html
I'm not associated with them, except as a satisfied customer.
