Subject: [Leica] OT Digilux 1 batteries are in!

For those with the Digilux I wanted to report that replacement/additional
batteries are now in country (USA) - I just got mine from Opticsusa.com .
The Leica sponsored Digital Forum indicated that the battery for the
Panasonic version of the Digilux Won't work in the Digilux - this I find
strange and may not be true.  Tina you would know if this is true of not -
any help?  Anyway the Panasonic website has the item backordered but it is
$49 vs $$92 for the Leica product.

I also got the 49 mm filter adapter and it is a rather deep adapter making
me wonder if the adapter itselt sans filter doubles as a lens hood -
actually what I'm saying is that this is exactly how you could use it but I
don't remember Leica specifically selling it as a filter adapter AND lens
hood.

Just so people don't think I've gone completely over to the dark side I had
fun this weekend shooting M6 classic with TriX - bathing it in HC110
afterwards :)
