Hello
This is a simple, and probably very naive question.
I have a Pentax ES2 that I have had in a cupboard for a couple of decades, forgotten and un-loved.
I re-found it today. There are no batteries in it - it takes 4. Can anyone here tell me what batteries to buy so I can see if it still operates?
Thanks
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
Four LR44s should get you under way. The more expensive silver SR44s will last longer, but just to see if it's working I would go for the cheap(er) solution. I have an ES2 and despite being a little battered (the camera, not me!), I really enjoy using it. Although a little taller and heavier than the Spots, it has that classic Pentax feel and mine gives very good, consistent results. Wish I'd had one from new.
Steve
