...never again a battery / cell for the lightmeter of a moviecam from:Nizo, Canon, Cosina or other......

like NIZO Professional or other cams: Nikon F 10, Minolta D10/D12 BAUER

A lot of professionals do not like anymore to use a very fine camera from Braun Nizo or Cosina which uses rare extra PX625 or PX13/14 cells with low voltage of 1.35 V or 2.7V for the lightmeter. You know: the orignal mercury cells are not available anymore and zinc/air batteries have a short lifecycle. Cells for  adapters like MR-9 have lower capacity. And very often the cells are empty and very expensive or not available at your location.....

And now?

Drop away the Nizo silverline (all silentmodels from S 480 up to 801 macro) or other fine cameras?

NO!

I modify NIZO, Canon and COSINA! And I do not need anymore a WeinCELL MRB625 / MR-9 Adapter / PX625 / PX14/ PX13 / S625PX / LR9 / LR09 / PX625A / D625 / EPX625G / V625U / KA625 / RPX625A / V625U / EPX625BP or any other cell for the lightmeter.

I have developed the different features. My added brandname Adams64 is the guarantee for a modified camera working only with the standard AA (R6) battery pack! This cameras have a modified lighmeter electronic. Only standard AA batteries or accus also for lightmetering are necessary. Some models have additional modifications.
