Question rollei 35

[duke2]

La zinc-air est la MR625.

J'ai retrouve le message que Harry Fleenor (specialiste Rollei aux US) m'avait envoye lors de la reparation de mon appareil qui resume bien les differentes options. J'ai choisi de re-calibrer la cellule.

Calibrate meter to 1.5 or 1.35v battery?


The Rollei 35 cameras including the Rollei 35S, that have an analog meter, (light reading needle and follow pointer needle). They were originally calibrated to use the 1.35V PX 625 battery.
This is a mercury cell which has become illegal in many states and as I understand it is no longer manufactured by the major battery manufacturers that supply the U.S.

The 1.35V option -

There are some Zinc - air cells that were made by a couple of mfgrs. that replace the PX625 without requiring re-calibration, assuming that the camera is not out of calibration. However these have a short life span.

Also CRIS in Arizona offer an adapter which reduces the voltage of the PX76 1.5V battery to 1.35V and helps form the shape of the original PX 625. This adapter is about $30.-- but it allows you to use the easy to find PX76.

The 1.5V option –

If I calibrate the meter to 1.5V you can use a PX625A or a silver oxide S625PX. With this calibration you can also use the PX76 without an adapter.

Thank You

Harry Fleenor
