I've recently purchased an MR-9 or PX625 adapter (the one from ebay from pratedthai) which takes a battery of type 386 or SR43. However, these coin batteries seem to be getting harder to find - all the pharmacists near where I live (inner city Sydney) have stopped selling them, and they seem to be getting thin on the ground at electronics wholesalers and even ebay.
This is a little problematic, as the adapter is the only way to get my Canon FT QL light meter near to accurate (I mean I can wing it, but it's the principle, you know?).
Anyone know of any silver oxide batteries other than the type 386/SR43 that would work with the adapter? I'm OK with an insulating shim around the outside of the battery - it's the battery thickness that will make or break an alternative solution. For instance, a type 357/SR44 has a suitable circumference, and they're more readily available, but they are too thick to let the battery compartment close.
