Hi everyone
I picked up a like new in case, Fugica ST-701 with org Fugi 55mm lens for $20.00 at a flea market last Summer. The batteries were dead and #400s Mercury of course :-).

This is a nice Camera except for the little #394X Silver cell button batteries with nylon skirts cost $6.73 ea. Does anyone have a better idea? Like a small button battery where I can slip into the nylon skirts. I know of the 1.35 volt air batteries. However they are double the price & with the 1.55 volt Silver cells & 2 test rolls of film, I had no problem getting good pictures.

This is a nice well built Camera & $13.50 a year spent on 2 batteries is not going to keep me from using it. It would be nice to save a little $ here & there.

Mike

Mike; Where are you buying your zinc air batteries? the last ones I bought were at WalMart. Price was about $9.95 for package of six. They are #675 Hearing Aid Batteries.
