I wasn't specific enough. The R3a and new Zeiss Ikon apparently won't
work at all without a battery. Others, like the more recent Nikon
SLRs, will work at all shutter speeds without a battery. Many of the
Leica folks here use RFs with no light meter (M1, M2, M3, and M4) and
either estimate exposure or use a handheld meter.

I disagree - I have a Nikon F, F2AS & F3, as well as an F100 and D70 - the
only one where battery is a major issue is the D70 as it is proprietary.
