If you want to use zinc air batteries in your OM1 (they do get the job done), 
it's muc cheaper to get the package of hearing aid batteries for a few dollars 
and shim it out. The hearing aid battery (I think 675 may be the number, but 
it's been a long time since I got one. Someone give me some help here!) is 
smaller in diameter, so you can use an O ring, or something like bubble gum, or 
as some list members do for everything, JB weld (just joking, they often use 
duct tape instead of JB weld.) I think the Wein cell is just the same battery 
with a more expensive adapter.
