Found husband’s 600 series! It was stored nicely and without film inside so hoping it’s still working!

    For years I could never figure out where the battery was for these. It was only much later in life I learned that the film cartridge itself had the pouch cell battery inside it! Yes, whenever you were buying a film cartridge you were buying a new battery. When you threw away the old cartridge you were throwing a way a battery!

      Yep! Which is why this one might still work! No battery inside the camera itself so nothing to leak! All battery inside the film pack! They’re so neat!
