Subject: [Leica] the Rose on/off switch

Some years back, when I talked to Tom A. about it, I suggested a piezo
switch mounted on the original battery cap. He thought that the short life
span of the switch would be a deterrent to the usual Leica accessory
consumer. I still feel that it could be a do-able accessory.
