[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm posting this on behalf of a non-photographer friend. He has an OM-1, whose mercury battery is still alive; the unavailability of mercury batteries in the U.S. came as a surprise to him. I am not current on the various alternatives; the cameras in my stable that use them (at least a Rollei 35S and a Nikkormat) have long since been retired. So, what should I advise him: conversion of his camera, some trick adaptor device, Wien cell, smuggling in mercury batteries from Canada? I know that he would be responsible about disposing of used mercury batteries at the hazardous waste dump. Any help will be appreciated.
