Which battery for SOKOL

[Micky D]

This is a bit of a long shot, but does anyone know which battery to use in a SOKOL Automat?

I can use it in non-metered manual mode but never had a battery to test the shutter priority AE.


Thanks,
Micky.

Thanks Jon,

You don't know the voltage by any chance?

 

[JonP]

1.35V
You can get an adapter for a silver oxide cell that reduces the voltage. It is the MR-9 adapter.

I've not put a film thru mine yet, but the Viewfinder is amazing, bright lines and parallax correction!
