I just received my Zenit Automat.. it looks like takes a weird kind of battery almost like a AAA/AA but shorter in size. What would be the equivalent can I use in USA?

Thanks,
Vlad

Haha! I think finding real kopecks in USA would cost me more than buying this PX28 for $10... and American penny is way too big.

Use a coins... (It is better and authentic to use the Soviet kopecks ;)

Tried 4 LC-A batteries, didn't fit... vertically too much space was left and it wouldn't reach the contacts. Then I bought a PX28, camera came to life! I like it! Very smooth and very different than the other Zenits.. can't wait to try it out.

Thank you Carter and Zoom, between both your links I've determined the right battery. So I guess originally it was 4 РЦ-53 but I guess I can use a single PX28.

But.. I think I may already have the smaller ones, Zoom - do you know from memory if these РЦ-53 is the same battery that Lomo LC-A takes? I think I got about 50 of those. :) Maybe I can use them.

Thanks,

Vlad.
