Hi Lucien,


How long do you do with the batteries please.
I've a Pentax P30 with comparable batteries and they last for years.
Those of my M6 TTL only a few month. (yes I sometimes forget to put the 
shutterspeed button to off)


Best regards
Luc

I don't trust the 3 V lithium battery in my M6 anymore.
Because at the end of its life it always fool the exposure meter.
I had to many pictures ruined because of that.

I use again silver batteries and replace them with a fresh
Lithium only when it's too cold outside.
And back to silver after that.
