Hi
Quick question; can i use two LR44s instead of a K58L without damage to the meter? This would seem to be cheaper and easier to get hold of.
Apologies but guess this question's been asked a few times on this forum.

I don’t know the answer to your question, but I do know that if maybe somebody maybe had said batteries they maybe wanted to maybe exchange for a small fee, maybe; they will be dragged out of the forum and shot at dawn! (and were talking more bolt actioned rifle than 18-200 superzoom!) 
- No I don't have any, just mocking the for sale/wanted rules

Is an LR44 the same as a KA76? If so yes, although they are more fiddly.

Don't know how much help this is, but I use 2 LR44's in my non-TTL M6 with no problems.

a copy of the M6 TTL manual can be found here and it says SR44 (Silver Oxide) batteries are fine, but makes no mention of LR44's

Hope this helps

In which case LR44s ought to be fine too, but don't expect them to last as long - SR44s may be a bit more expensive initially, but will be a lot cheaper in the long run.

I don't use the 3v cells - too expensive - just SR44s. Also, I wouldn't bother with LR44 (alkaline) batteries when silver oxides (SR44) are about 70-80% more expensive, but last 100% longer or more. 7Dayshop offer a 10 pack of SR44 (Panasonic, not generic) for £6.50 plus P+P - so prices are not too bad.
