Hi Richard:

You are correct, silver does not have as flat a discharge curve as mercury.

In practice, though, it hardly matters. I even use 1.5v alkalines in my original Photomic. Horrors!

Did you make any comparisons of readings with the alkaline cells vs mercury cells? I have not done that but have compared mercury with zinc-air and found no difference but the voltages are closer. It may well be that plain old alkaline cells will work in most equipment.
