You will need a Wein cell 1.35v. This is the only battery to replace the old mercury cell that

was used in the Canon QL17.

Thank's for the replies.

The camera is still not working and don't have another lens to test the body with. Will

be returning both to the shop where they were bought

tomorrow.

I posted a question yesterday about my Contax G2 and thank eveyone who

responded, but I have one further question:

When the lens is removed from camera will the drive mechanism that sticks out to

connect with lens still turn when shutter is released ?

Swelter

I have recently purchased a second hand G2 with the 45mm f/2 lens, and all seemed

well when checked at camera shop. Today was the day I was going to put first film

through, however after loading film I discovered that the lens was not focusing or

making the usual auto focus sounds and will not release shutter. The camera will

fire when the lens is off. I have cleaned gold contacts on lens and checked for any

only bent pins, everything looks fine. Anyone got any suggestions before I return it

on Monday to camera shop.

Thanks Swelter

If your still looking I have a copy of the Robert Frank documentary on tape (PAL)

broadcast Sunday evening. Email me your details and I will send it. The same tape

also has a profile of Martin Parr made by the BBC.
