[Leica] Third party M8/M9 batteries

[Nathan Wajsman]

In the case of my Fuji X cameras, I have several Fuji and aftermarket batteries, and they perform equally well. Same for my Ricoh GR. It is true that some of the aftermarket ones turned out to be junk and were dumped into the recycling fairly quickly but given the price difference between the OEM and aftermarket ones, it is still a better deal to buy aftermarket. YMMV.
