Lithium batteriesClyde,
            I bought one of these years ago on the recommendation of a local 
camera shop for my 2sp when I mentioned I would be shooting in snow. From 
memory it made it part way through the third 36 exp roll before the mirror 
locked up and I went hunting for silver. And the temp was about 2C

  This is what the FAQ says:


  Also, a lithium cell the size of two SR44's will *not* work
       properly in those cameras that take SR44's.  It will power the
    camera OK for a while, but its voltage will quickly drop below the
          minimum necessary for proper operation.


  My question is: how long is a "while?" Using OM4t's, can I get 4 OK weeks of 
daily shooting? 2 weeks? 2 days?  I'm interested in the cold weather 
performance of lithium versus silver or alkaline.
