At the moment they're calibrated for the mercury battery but I've got one in the shop now and I've asked DAG to re-calibrate for a 625s silver cell. He's already re-calibrated an SL2 for me; the jury's out on that one 'cuz it had to go back to DAG for other reasons. Recently I figured out how to calibrate the SL's meter so I'll try re-calibrating a body for the silver cell when I get the chance. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
