This was the first thing I did after I opened the packaging of my new R8 a few weeks back, drive to the photo shop and buy a extra set of batteries. I am also buying several sets for both my M6TTL and R8 for the upcoming trip to Germany and Poland in December. I keep at least one extra set of batteries for each camera I take on a trip or if I am just out with the camera. you just never know when one will give out.

But everything to do with a battery operated camera. ;-) Whether one leaves home and hearth or not, but shoots pictures anywhere, one should always have...... You guesed it............:-) "SPARE BATTERIES!" We have double sets of batteries for al M6-7's and R8's. Quite frankly it's the first thing one buys as soon as the camera is purchased.... extra batteries!. And wonder of wonders you'd not be posting an under exposed photograph that could well have been an interesting shot of the young lad. ;-) ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
