You should be able to use a 4LR44 battery which is a single battery tube containing 4 batteries see on ebay. The one here costs less than £2 for 2.  |

Well, thank you for advice. But I can't put this battery at cartridge slot, it's much wider. Maybe there is the way to make adaptor, but it will be so uncomfortable to use outside battery connected with camera.

Sorry, the photo of your cartridge wasnt showing when I posted my reply. Normally when a camera such as the Canon AE1 uses 4 SR44s you can use the battery above. I think the only way you are going to get one of these would be to buy a non-working example of the camera and scavenge the part. It is unlikely that this would have been an 'accessory' for the camera.

Oh, I've got this cartridge from owner of some mamiya ze camera's that doesn't work. It's so surprising to find this detail in city, where I'm living.
Also, today I've had advice from one man to model this cartridge in 3d and print using 3D printer. It is a great advice for those, who still searching missing rare details like this one.

Hello
I had the same problem, got a black Mamiya ZE with 2 lenses for free from a friend years ago, but the battery holder was missing.
Last year I wanted this camera to be in working condition and bought a cheap second silver Mamiya ZE from eBay which was marked as broken. From the fotos I could see the battery holder was there.
The camera arrived and I used the battery holder in my black ZE just to find out that it has more problems than the missing battery holder 8-( It allways operates at B. Seems the speed dial is broken.
But: The silver ZE was not broken and is in a good condition ;-)
You can find images of both of my ZEs here in this forum. The silver Mamiya is a "noname" lacking the Mamiya writing.
