	Hi Group -

	I asked about exactly this item about 8 months ago and
	got no response. I used to use the Nikon casettes and
	still have 15 of them. But alas, while the idea is
	exactly the same, they do not work in the Leica M6
	because the tab/button that is pushed when the cover
	is closed is in the improper position. Too bad.

	Where can I get Leica casettes? Hopefully they don't
	cost $100/each!

	Thanks.

	-- Wolfgang
