brian_schall Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I just picked up a Fujica ST701. Is there a silver oxide or at least an alkaline battery that fits it? I would rather go with a modern battery and adjust the meter for the higher voltage than use Wein Cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorm. Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 You might want to ask your question here: http://www.nelsonfoto.com/phpBB2/index.php Some Fujica users post there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean_williams Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Here is an easy and inexpensive way to do it: <p> Get a pack of size 312 hearing aid cells from Radio Shack or a drug store, etc. <br> Get a few small rubber O-rings from an auto parts store. Take your camera and your batteries with you so you can get the right size O-rings. <br> Slip an O-ring over each of the two batteries needed and put them in the battery chamber just like regular batteries for the camera. <br> The meter could be off very slightly. You can check against another camera. <p> See the pic... <p> Dean <p> <a href="http://www.deansofidaho.com">deansofidaho.com</a><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincenzo_maielli Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Buy the Weincell MRB400 1,35 volt zinc - air, that replace the old and long outlawed PX400 1,35 volt mercury battery. Best regards. Vincenzo Maielli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
