Ah the ten dollar question!!!! one that is about to catch up with me in the near future.


My initial reaction is that if you can't find it on your island, you won't be able to get it on this island.

The best I can do for now is www.rolleiclub.n/batt-adapt-US.pdf

If I've messed up the address let me know.

I'll see what is around and let you know.

Hi Guys,
Instead od trying to find those Mercury batteries, contact your Leica repais center or independent Leica service person. They will convert your M5 to a current battery. It's not expensive and eliminates that "tension headache" we seem to get when thinga aren't right with our all-consuming passion.

> [Wein Air Cells have a limited life (a matter of months), unless removed and re-sealed when the camera is not in use. PX 625 mercury cells are still available in the UK from Eurobatteries, who offer a disposal service for used cells. Mike.]
