Hi, I heard that there are adaptors out there to support now defunct mercury batteries for nizo cameras, can anybody help me out on this? thanks.

Call them up and ask.

Its for the old Gossen meter. Cat no 4145. Gossen is represented by Bogen here in US.

The one mentioned above doesn't work. It's only for those old old gossen meters. The only that works (which I used for my 800) is the MR-9 adaptor from criscam. 30 bucks each, you need two for each merc batt, kinda ex, but works great!

If these guys don't have it, I guess it ain't around.

That s weird. I have somebody in Cali using it (Im in NY). Last time I checked he said that what he was using. I have not talked to him for a while but I will try to in order to clarify this.

LAO :
Did you test it?
Why did it not work (wrong voltage, size, etc?)?

Thanx a lot. Sorry if I caused any harm.
My info was from a user.
