Subject: Re: [Leica] Re: Leica CL and Rollei 35SE batteries
I thought that the real problem with the silver or alkaline batteries is
not the slightly different voltage compared to the original mercury
cells--that is indeed inconsenquential--but the way the voltage goes
down smoothly as the battery is depleted, so your readings become less
and less accurate over time. That is where the mercury cells supposedly
had an advantage--they retained full (or close to full) voltage until
they died.

Correct. It's still close enough for B&W use, I find - but my colour slide
35S has the adaptor instead, as otherwise it really doesn't work that well.
