[Leica] Leica batteries

[Nathan Wajsman]

I buy aftermarket batteries for all my cameras (Leica, Fuji, Panasonic, Ricoh). Some are good, some are not, but since they are so much cheaper than the original, it still works out better than paying through the nose for the originals. I shop with a couple of reputable online stores, one in Denmark that only ships locally, and one in the Netherlands: https://www.batteryking.nl. I generally avoid ebay and Amazon for this particular product category.

Cheers,
Nathan
