Subject: [Leica] Re: battery cover

Since the battery on most M6's doesn't need to be changed but perhaps once
a year, an elaborate flip out key would be overkill for something that is
rarely used. Now for you TTL folks...! And remember, Leica has to leave
some things for Tom Abrahamsson to design and make.
