And you may already know this. Whenever you put the M6 in a bag, it is recommended by Leica and those of us who learned the hard way, to always turn the shutter speed dial to "B". This breaks the circuit and keeps the battery from being drained. Just in case you didn't know. Many of us have done exactly what happened to you. ted
