Kiev 88 TTL Battery?
Just got a Kiev 88 TTL off eBay. All is working well, but I can't figure
out what batteries to use. The Englich language manual I have indicates 3 each of type PX675 or RM 675 or MS 76. I tried stacking 3 MS 76's, but the battery compartment was too large. Elsewhere on the internet I found reference to 3 G13/A76/LR44. Haven't tried those yet. Anyone have any experience or ideas? Thanks much in advance.

I've also found that 6v medical or photo batteries (the little, fat barrel shaped ones) fit and operate the meter -- I haven't, though, figured out what the higher voltage does to the exposure reading. Thanks again. |
