sells MR-9 in the UK - official supplier. The MR-9 reduces the voltage of

I'm thinking of getting my OM-1n adjusted to take the new silver oxide
cells. Is this MR9 adapter a more viable alternative? Does it mean that
meter readings are still correct when used with the new cells? (I assume
so). Also does anyone know of a UK stockist or a US stockist who is
prepared to ship? I would rather buy this than have my camera taken
apart and away from me for a few days. Thanks!
Best Wishes,
Gareth.
