PX625 Batteries

[Keith & Martha Grimson <kgrimson >]

Dear Fellow Digest Readers:
     Having just purchased a Rollei Classic 35, I am now suddenly aware 
of the unavailibility of the PX 625 battery here in California. I am told 
that the new PX 625A (alkaline) battery will work but has a slightly 
different voltage output which could perhaps affect the meter on the 
Rollei 35. Has anyone experienced this problem? Maybe there is no problem 
since the voltage difference may be too slight to consider. I would be 
interested in hearing any comments on this issue (especially from the 
head guru, Bob).
     I must also mention that I really enjoy this digest and the 
interchange of ideas it promotes. Even though I do not currently own a 
TLR Rollei, I have been an owner in the past and enjoy the many comments 
from current owners of those wonderful cameras. I currently own a Rollei 
6008 which I use professionally and even though, only time will tell 
whether that camera is regarded as highly as the Rollei TRLs as far as 
collectability is concerned, I regard it as the best, most versatile 
camera I have every owned. It truly follows in every way the tradition 
set by the TLRs.
     Best regards and keep up your fine work,
          Keith
