It seems that mine were not lasting very long. A nice person responded (sorry, don't recall the name) suggesting that I check the way my camera fits in the bag. Sure enough, I have a small Domke bag with the inserts. They are just tight enough to put pressure on the shutter release. We all know that it doesn't take much pressure to activate the meter. I've been metering the inside of my bag constantly! Hence, short battery life. I've determined a new way to place the bodies in the bag without touching the release. Other M6 users may want to check their bags too. Mark Austin, TX
