Some OM4s would lock up with the shutter open at the drop of a hat. A 357
wasalmost always the solution. I started using them after that. The cheapest
source of the 357 cells at about 50 cents each were almost always watch
battery supply places on the web, the disadvantage being the large minimum
number you had to buy. I ended up getting them at Home Depot for about a
buckeach. Winsor Long Beach, California, USA On Nov 13, 2005, at 12:44 PM,

through life, I guess I am making the assumption that a 357 will do
everything a LR44 needs to do, but also more. Can anyone who knows battery
lore bless this assumption? I don't profess to be an expert, either, but,
FWIW share your opinion. I've just replaced the LR44 in my digital calipers
with and OM- destined SR44 (357) from the fridge. I think the silver ones
arejust better (but dearer). Simon Thanks for responding. I don't think it's
probably a big deal in any case, but I am curious. We've had a lot of
threadsabout not using LR44s where 357s are wanted, but I don't think the
reverse has been covered. I do remember now that the OM2000 comes with
LR44s,but I think the documentation says that SR44/357s are fine too, which
perhaps tends to support the assumption. Joel W.
