Well, there's olympus-pen-rf@xxxxxxxxxxx but the members tend to be members
of this List too.

There's some info on my web page www.keithberry.telinco.co.uk/35rc.htm and
you could ask Gary Schloss schloss@xxxxxxxxxxx if he still has any genuine
Varta batteries left.

I've seen their price list and it seems very high to me. This List's
repairman is John Hermanson - www.zuiko.com - who seems to be much more
reasonable. Personally I'd rather seek out a real Mercury battery every five
or six years.
>Also, reportedly, it should work in a manual mode, with no battery
installed, yet it does not seem to have shutter actuation. Any thoughts?
With the aperture ring switched away from 'A' and 'OFF' it should work okay,
if not, it needs attention.
