There are several possible solutions: - - have your cameras recalibrated to use the modern batteries - - buy a CRIS adapter to allow you to use the modern batteries - - there are still mercury batteries available, coming from some Chinese source; they tend to be pricey and there are questions about reliability, but nonetheless they exist. All of these options have been discussed extensively in the past. Look in the archives for "mercury batteries", "PX625" and the like, and you will find lots of posts. Nathan "G.
