Some cameras, not necessarily all. As I understand it, the bridge circuit in the Spotmatic F (or is it all Spotmatics?) will allow that, but why trust and stress the electronics? Isn't it better to hand the camera a voltage as close to which it's been designed, if you can? > ...and only really could use something to keep an s76 size > battery from rattling around too much.

And that's precisely what I've done, but it's such a stop-gap measure, and I'm sure to be someplace that doesn't have a representative supply of o-rings, when I bump the camera and the bloody thing slips and you've lost battery power... O-rings age and crack. What's an extra $15? Confidence you didn't take the cheap way out, using stop-gap measures, and it will perform well for you until you give up the camera...How long do you keep a camera? Spread $15 over that time, and it's really cheap! The other side of it is, I'm a mechanical engineeer and cheesy solutions irritate my sense of what's right! ;^) keith whaley > At 11:45 PM 8/8/2002 -0400, you wrote: > >In a message dated 8/8/2002 7:49:47 PM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >writes: > > > > > > > > http://www.criscam.com/mba.htm > > > $29 for a battery adapter?
