I picked � one up in near mint cosmetic shape but with some health problems � (working on them now, though), and want to try the meter. � Also, if the original battery is a 1.35 mercury, will the 1.5 � alkaline work well (considering that alkalines get from 1.65 to � 1.25V over their life, but mercury batteries stay near 1.35 almost � all their life)? Which battery "numbers" will work in it? It is � about the half size of SR44 it seems. � A wonderful camera, it made my photography simpler (as the meter � isn't working), I put a portrait 1.8/80mm lens on it and meter � handheld, and it's great... A nice complementation to the LX I use � normally :) Good light, Frantisek Vlcek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. �To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
