You'll just have to be even more careful to carry spares. And to avoid
panic when the mirror locks up and remember it's just the battery.

I believe John reported he eventually got his batteries. I went through
the same thing,a long, silent delay, then batteries arrived. They were,
however, the new 357/303, so I lost my gamble
<http://data.energizer.com/PDFs/357-303.pdf>. Not much lost, though. I
can use them in other applications
BUT - I checked the Energizer site, and they now show a 357/303H battery
with a much better discharge curve. Looks like the old 357 is back under
a new name. <http://data.energizer.com/PDFs/357-303H.pdf>
Good News.
