Many of us have small private stashes, but they are not comercially 
available, since mercury battery production stopped world wide some 
years ago.

Wein air batteries are a sort of OK stopgap solution, but have limited 
life once unsealed.

The CRIS MR-9 adapter is the same size as the original batteries and 
converts the smaller #386 silver-oxide battery to work properly in place 
of the mercury battery. They are available from our own John H. 
<http://zuiko.com/Whatsleft.htm>, as well as other sources.

CLAs by John or Clint may include adapting the camera body to use 357 
batteries.
