Battery question

[Genster]

Does anyone know if the hearing aid battery marked 675 (witch I use in my Ricoh 500 G) also works on a Ricoh 35ZF?

I think - yes, it should work as 35ZF is stripped down version of 500G. Differences are in rangefinder which shouldn't change requirements for battery.

I hope you are right Thanks for your reply btgc!
Is there perhaps someone who knows for sure?

They will work in a number of 70's Ricoh compact cameras, as these cameras all have the same lens & light meter. They only differ by some of there features.
The 500ME is by far the most advanced. With features like Range finder, Battery check, Shutter Lock, Auto/Manual, Multi exposure, Film loaded window, Shutter cocked confirmed window & hot shoe. As has a auto winder attachment.
Same lens & light meter. I believe the 35ZF is a zone focusing camera. Still a very capable camera with its Rikenon 1:28 40mm lens
Here is a picture of my 500GX.

Thanks Phil!
That 500GX is a good looking camera

Technically, two cameras need also same metering circuit to work on same battery (although, not mandatory....if calibration differ )
http://www.butkus.org/chinon/ricoh/ lists manuals for this cameras and they use same battery, to clear last doubts.

P.S. nice 500GX with rare winder! I have red Ricoh tripod - nice sturdy thing.

Thanks, but i can't find any battery-info in the 35ZF-manual

Thanks, but i can't find any battery-info in the 35ZF-manual

Page 11, chapter "Loading mercury battery", point #4 specifies to use 1.3V cell in 675 form factor. Which means it will be happy with 1.4V hearing aid battery with some O-ring to fill empty space. Cheers!
