Hi John - Others have encountered the same problem as you with these cells... old stock is not well regulated and what you purchase new is not completely...
Hi Eric, Sad, I guess I've been lucky. I've been using the Wein cells for years and never had a problem before. I guess it's time to try an MR- 9 adaptor....
John, AFAIK, the MR-9 is only available from CRISCAM, the exclusive importer. Again, AFAIK, the adaptor is made in Japan. Another thing to consider, some...
I believe Don is correct. Here is a thoughtful discussion of the potential remedies and alternative solutions: http://rick_oleson.tripod.com/batt_adapt_us.pdf ...
I use plain old type 675 hearing aide batteries in my FT, FTb, TX, and F-1n with no adapter. I just drop them into the battery compartment, and they work fine,...

Here is another bit of info on the 675 hearing aid battery: http://photo.net/classic-cameras-forum/00GlXa I use the 675 battery in my EF and FTb with no...
Hi I've used zinc-air batteries only one time. They need about 10 minutes to gain their full power after you open their air holes. And then they need air. May ...
In that thread, a user reports a full stop meter error using these cells. And others comment that they have an equally short life as other Z-As. Still others...
I purchased an adapter a few years ago and use it with S-O batteries in my FTb, QL17 and Konica Auto S2. Works great and the battery seems to last about as...

Hello everyone. Although I've been a photography "buff" for a few years now, experimenting and dabbling on occassion, I was recently given my very first SLR...
Hi Amber, Welcome to the world of the Canon SLR. We in this group understandably think the older Canon FD equip (such as your AE-1P) is wonderful. Here's a...

Hello, all, I am new to the group, and am glad to be amidst Canon FD users. After dabbling in a number of different systems over the years--both MF and AF--I...

I just love the AE-1P. One thing you may not know is that the focusing screen of the AE-1 P is interchangeable. You can buy a different screen, they come...
