(a bit like the wind up radio) On learning on the LUG that those small mercury cells (Px625) were rechargeable, maybe this is an idea to consider. Though whether there's any space left to secrete the necessary gubbins, I'd have thought unlikely... Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Kam [SMTP:kamm@netvigator.com] Hi Emanuel, As I understand the Seiko Kinetic does have batteries, but they constantly get recharged from your body motion (that's how the word kinetic comes about). Given that not many Leicas get used everyday, I guess it's not a good idea to apply the kinetic techology. You don't want to shake your Leica for 5 mintues before you can use the meter, do you? Have a nice weekend. Regards, Kam
