Batteries and Sources



A good tip to get some great and useful AA batteries - make contact with your local Walmart/Walgreens/Target/CVS photolab and get them to save you some AA batteries from all the disposable cameras they process film from. These AA batteries are made in China - like everything else in the Western Hemisphere - but they'll work for a while.

If you use a disposable camera, before you drop it for processing - wind the film to the end, and pry the plastic housing open with a a flat screwdriver (that's what the photolabs use) and get the battery out. Save it - it's great for clocks, and even digital cameras. They don't last TOO long, but they're free.

So take the battery out! And put the roll of film in the envelope, and get your processing!
