" - -------------------- End Original Message -------------------- I'm still using a mercury battery. I bought a spare from Sherry last year when she CLA'd my SL. I briefly tried a 625A alkaline battery and it game me readings that were about 1/4 stop different (underexposed) across the entire metering range. No telling how it would age. BTW my mother has 10 grandchildren and she keeps their ages & birthdays straight. She says she has a mathematical system for remembering all of 'em; beats me how she does it.
