Hi Folks,

Any idea where I can get a spacer to allow me to use a regular 1.55v silver oxide SR44W with my OM-1? The battery chamber is too big. I did not think about this when I had the camera meter converted to use modern non-mercury battery.

Thanks.

I use a cheap o-ring you can get in most hardware stores to do this with several Minolta SRt models...should work with the Olympii, yes?

There was a thread on this forum about this specific lens...I could not resist, so I purchased it from the kind gentleman in Argentina:
