Hmm, at a risk of shameless self-promotion, I'd like to remind
all Zuiks/Zuikettes that new, factory-sealed, fresh, Varta-made
PX625 (1.35v) Hg cells are a mere "mouse click" away!  They're
available from _moi_ for a low-low price of $5 apiece.

Alternatively, you can bid for them on "e-Sodom".  Yesterday,
a pair of PX675 Hg cells sold for $29(!).  Could the options
on Dutch tulip bulbs be far behind? :-)

A Wein cell will last only 4-6 mos (vs 2 years for Hg).  Worse,
new/sealed zink-oxide cells need a 20-30 minute "warm-up" time
before they can be used, so you'd better not rely on them in the
middle of the shoot.

Cheers,
