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.
