Yikes!  This is contrary to my experience.  My OM-2 was extremely 
unreliable for most of the last decade *because* I was using MS76 
batteries.  Since I switched to 357's, no problems.  (this after 
several attempts at servicing and  an overhaul)  I was about to 
give up on the old Oly until I saw Lee Hawkins FAQ and John's 
Camtech web page, and discovered the really problem!

Unless you have no other option, use 357 silver oxides!  The lower 
internal resistance makes it possible for the camera to draw about 
50% more current without causing the voltage droop that can lockup 
your camera.  Well worth the lower capacity, IMHO.
