The Leica M5 is a suberb instrument and I have used my s/h for a good
couple of years now. But there is one thing to worry gravely about and
that is that the battery PX 625 used in the M5, Leicameter and others is
no longer produced and I've been told that there is no real substitute
for it. I have bought a dozen PX 625 that will last me a few years, but
after that I don't know if the Leica M5 is a very good camera anymore!
Can anyone shed some light on this problem, please!
