Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has noticed any significant problems in metering with silver oxide batteries vs. mercury. I recently bought this old camera, and found out that its meter is calibrated for the 1.35V mercury batteries, which are no longer made. The alkaline and silver batteries are 1.5V.
What kind of metering discrepancies are we talking about here? I can live with @1 stop since I always bracket when I shoot 35
Thanks for any advice!
