Every time you install a new film pack you're using the fresh battery it contains. I've seldom seen a Polaroid film pack die before its expiration date. That was the system when I checked the Polaroid SOP. That is only true of the SX70 and descendants. The older peal apart technology did not need any batteries, except maybe for a flash. You got the film activated and out of the camera by manually pulling it. ============================================================================ Ken Firestone, W3CAT | For every problem there is one solution kenf@speakeasy.net | which is simple, neat, and wrong. ken@firestone.net | -- H.
