Canon LTM Canonet 28

[RML]

I finally replaced the seals on my Canonet 28 with the fine Jon Goodman seals. I placed a little _user experience_ on my blog.

I also put Greyhoundman's film pressure plate on the camera.

It seems the camera is again as good as new. The only thing is that I need to check the battery. I don't think it's still good. That means I need a new battery. The one in the camera only says "National H - D". Not very useful information for me. Does anyone have any idea what battery the Canonet 28 takes? No mercury one, I hope.

Yup! It's a mercury one! Because of the Auto only function, it is more difficult to trim the meter for silver cells. I would try and get hold of one of John Neals adapters.

Just my luck!

Depending on the film used (and who develops it, naturally) you can get by without an adapter. I don't know whether or not mine has been adapted...but it seems to respond like it has. I just use silver batteries in mine.
