I have no IB yet so I don't know what type of battery to use. I'm using the f2/50mm Summicron-R on it. I think that I have the meter working properly with a Varta V625PX - 1.35 volt Mercury battery which I've had in my refrigerator for a year or so. I compared the meter against my Rolleiflex SL with a Varta V 625 U and they read the same. We can no longer buy these batteries in Massachusetts, (and just about everywhere else I've been told) so I'm wondering what to do when this battery dies. What is the Leica community common wisdom on this problem? I think that the Duracell 625A is 1.5 volts... can the SL be recalibrated? Thanks in advance, Jim Hemenway - -- Is obair-la` to`iseachadh - -Gna`th fhacal Ach is obair beatha criochnachadh
