Pentax 67

simon.young427 · 06-29-2017, 04:06 AM

Hi guys, sorry for the newbie question but I have just acquired a Pentax 67 and unfortunately the battery was dead. I am struggling to find a replacement S28 and was wondering if there is an alternative, I can see other 6V batteries that look like the S28 but I don’t know if they are actually the same. What are others using in there 6x7 or 67?

Cheers,
Simon.

If you look under 4LR44 or PX28 on Amazon (amongst others) you should find it

The small rectangular RLR44 batteries are admittedly not all that common in shops, but they are still found by many manufacturers in electronics/hobby shops. My battery was last changed in 2010 for about $3.40 (that's Australian dollars).

When you get the old battery out, scrutinise the terminals for any signs of corrosion and get rid of this.

Because Boots pay their fair amount of taxes, Amazon doesn't
