I am able to use (perfectly) 1.55V alkaline and silver oxide batteries in my ancient Lunapro light meter utilizing the voltage reducing battery holder sold directly by Gossen ( or B&H). It is designed to hold two 1.55 V butgton batteries reducing the voltage to the required 1.35V. It cost about $35.00.

Please, please everyone when using abbreviations include the meaning for those of us not up on the modern jargon. I finally have down, SOOC and could figure out LMAO but I believe CLA is a bit obscure.

Clean, Lubricate, Adjust. It's been kicked around since at least 1967 when I started reading about serious cameras, and probably dates back 100 years or more.

However, there are always newbies among us.

I agree with the old adage: "Define the terms as you go along, spelling out acronyms the first time."

When I worked for my third large photo lab company, we had a 42 page dictionary of acronyms!

CLA is not modern jargon. That's the problem for people who have never used mechanical cameras that have gears and springs that make everything work. Lubricants don't last forever. Shutters can become sluggish. Parts can wear. I would bet that most people didn't bother with it, but those who made a living with their cameras did, or knew that they should.

Thank you for the "define the terms" comment". My camera usage dates back to a Leica 111f so I'm not really a newbie however perhaps my unfamiliarity with the acronym CLA stems from never having a camera needing service. Many of the members appear to have had some business association with photography, Labs such as yourself and or professional photographers and naturally they would be more familiar with the different acronyms.
