No. You can get it converted, or buy an MR-9 adapter so that SR44W's, Silver
76's, etc. can be used in the camera. I own an MR-9 for my OM-1n. Great
converter. Also drops the voltage down so that there's no meter errors. John
Hermanson (Camtech, www.zuiko.com) sells 'em, as do the folks at CRIS Cameras
(www.criscam.com).
David McSparron is wrong, wrong, wrong. You might wanna point that out to him.
