Bill,
In the EOS world, a cheap source of propietary batteries is more valuable than
it was in the OM world. Thanks for this link. My
EOS film body (Elan II) takes an oddball Sanyo 6volt lithium called "2CR5".
Not only are they expensive, but they're hard to find,
and the AF camera will probably go though a bunch as I climb the learing curve.
It's $9.95 at the grocery store. Wal-Mart ain't what it used to be: it's $9.95
there too.
The good news is that lithiums have a 10 year shelf life. All of this means
that I can load up a 4 year supply with no down side!
If I buy at least 6, my cost is $3.75 each plus $5 flat fee + actual UPS
charge. If I buy 6 and the actual UPS charge is $5, my
total is $32.50, instead of $63.28 (purchased locally with 6ales tax.) I'm not
going to retire on that savings but it's worth
doing and it's fun. It will keep me C-41 processing while I learn. Thanks.
All the best,
Lama
