Rollei 35 batteries

[Antonio Bunt]

Hello! I am thinking about getting a Rollei 35 SE but to my knowledge it uses PX27 batteries which are no longer manufactured. The repleacements go to 6V instead of the original 5.6V the mercury-based batteries were. What happens it I used a 6V battery instead? Thanks!

I use CRIS battery adapters in my Rollei 35, 35 T and S. You can also get them for the TE and SE. CRIS Camera Repair and Services - Mercury Battery Adapters

I used to have an SE, but swapped it for the S. I didn't like the meter. The great thing about the T and S meters is that you can read them and set the camera one-handed. It's not as easy to do that with the TE and SE. They are all great little cameras, however.

Best,
Helen

Great advise Helen, thanks, but what are the big differences between the S and the SE, I haven't figured out them yet.
