Maybe the earlier cells were duds.. OTOH I note that the TTL gives about 8hrs contiuous use per set of batteries as opposed to 20 hours per set for the earlier M6s as per Leica's spec sheets. This is odd and not very comforting since the TTL will not operate with flash (through or socket or hot shoe) without fresh batteries...so much for the new efficient digital circuits. Oh and I still turn the shutter speed dial te worng way instinctively. Back to the Caol Ila. Bests Adrian P.S. the worst whisky I have ever tasted is produced here in Shanghai by Seagrams - seven stars or 7 somethings. A headache produced just from the smell of it...
