Yes, the Konica Auto S2 takes one of these batteries. But I use mine without, as the battery is only needed for the meter, and I use a hand-held incident meter instead. I think I've read that with other cameras (which I've been careful to avoid), a mercury battery (or close substitute) is even needed for the shutter to fire. If I'm right, wouldn't it be a good idea to distinguish between (a) "needed for meter only" and (b) needed for shutter"? -- [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] 19:09, 11 October 2006 (EDT) | Yes, the Konica Auto S2 takes one of these batteries.

Contents
Is the title suitable?
This article doesn't say anything about the cameras, and, more worryingly, doesn't promise to do so. There's nothing so very wrong with that, but I wonder if "List of PX625 cameras" (or similar, but anyway starting "List of") wouldn't be better. -- Hoary 19:09, 11 October 2006 (EDT)
What's the battery (what are the batteries) needed for?
Yes, the Konica Auto S2 takes one of these batteries. But I use mine without, as the battery is only needed for the meter, and I use a hand-held incident meter instead. I think I've read that with other cameras (which I've been careful to avoid), a mercury battery (or close substitute) is even needed for the shutter to fire. If I'm right, wouldn't it be a good idea to distinguish between (a) "needed for meter only" and (b) needed for shutter"? -- Hoary 19:09, 11 October 2006 (EDT)
"Keiv"?
I guess that "Keiv" is a typo for "Kiev" but I'm not entirely sure. -- Hoary 19:55, 11 October 2006 (EDT)
Sources?
What's the relationship between this new page and one or other of this one at rolleicamera.com and this one at classic-cameras.com? -- Hoary 19:55, 11 October 2006 (EDT)
