Subject: Re: [Leica] Battery for Gossen Lunasix

Gossen makes a $13 adaptor that takes two silver cells. It's a lot easier. If 
you get the meter serviced, it's included. It also includes the batteries. It 
works fine - you just need to change the batteries once every two years, 
whether it needs it or not.

wondered what I should replace them with when they finally wear out.  I have

calibrated this meter for exposure before.  There are two potentiometers

inside.  I don't know if you can calibrate the meter for the newer 1.5v

alkaline batteries.  Does anybody have any experience with this on the

Gossen meters?  I have read people do this with Nikon F Photomic meters.
