It really is kinda pointless to think about battery
drain, even the worst OM (the 2s) will last for a
month or more on its batteries. With 357's so cheap
over the internet (can't think of the url right now)
it would truly take a miser to complain about battery
drain for OM. I have 10 spares in my bag always cost
to me was about as much as a good roll of film. Just
don't use LR44 or Wein cells, those truly are sucky
and expensive. My .02 cents.
