[Leica] Defunct M9

[Mark Rabiner]

Was not making myself clear yes I'm aware the 246 is the newest and
preferable.
I think being able to shoot current Leica monochrome and full color Ms is a
big thing; a must. And even if the batteries did not match up a very good
thing. I bet a third party battery charger could be set up to charge booth.
But how bulky and heavy really is a Leica battery charger?
I'm looking at a picture of the
Leica BC-SCL2 Battery Charger for BP-SCL2 Li-Ion Battery
Right now and it looks pretty small and light to me.
And cost a hundred bucks.
