Canon LTM Battery Adapters

[Stu :)]

Who's interested in a battery adapter for their Canonet?

Converts the 'common-as-muck' and 'cheap-as-chips' LR44 to fit the PX625, which maybe hard to find and pricey.

Which one is it? The C.R.I.S. model?

No. Brand new item by me!

Won't change the voltage and current of your choice of LR44 (or AG13, G13, A76, L1154, V13GA, etc etc...)... yet.
But it won't cost $30 either.

Been designing some new camera goodies in CAD, including a 'classic looking' flash gun and a universal RF filter system.

Open to any requests/ideas for odd items you'd think you'd like to see.

Or you could buy a PX625A which is available

Don't see the difference between using an LR44 and a PX625A if the voltage stays the same. Or were you thinking of a non-alkaline LR44 (SR44)
And am I missing something?

But you could add in a schottky diode so the voltage does change correctly. There is a site/pdf here with instructions on how to do this, they sell kits for under $5 IIRC or the whole thing for a lot less than the C.R.I.S version.

Then I'd probaby buy one!

Nick thanks for the link. That's a pretty amazing pdf...

I agree with Nick. With the diode attached, it would be much more desireable.

Yes, I could use a few of those with the diode too. My last mercury cell is still working in the 35RC...
