VF135 and 625 Battery Life

[Burkey]

Hi Folks,
Although I've been extremely busy at work, I have had a few moments here and there to grab some shots from my newly tweaked up, re-skinned 135. (Same as a XF135) With 400CN Pro B/W the results have been extremely good. Lab? 30 year old Rollei lens? Maybe even the film. I bought this camera to go in my bag as a carry-around. The camera uses a 625 and there's no way to turn it off. As the camera is 100% automatic for exposure I worry about battery life and lost shots. Anyone have any experience with these type of cameras and/or batteries? Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
BTW, I've attached another grab shot from it, a lab negative scan. Very minor PS.

Great picture: sharp on my computer screen, and nice lighting!

As for the battery, I'm not familiar with that camera, but will guess that you have to keep the lens capped to prevent battery drain.

Thanks, Frank. I think you're probably correct about the battery drain. I just ordered a push on generic lens cap form B&H to fit over the end of the hood I got for the 40mm, (46mm filter size), lens on the camera. ( A bit of measuring and I think I may have it solved.)
