I just got some from Calumet, mail-order, in the nick of time, because the set in the camera died a sudden death, without warning. Dead. Checking my records, I find I replaced batteries on 4/17, on 6/17, and here it is 8/24, and a new set (Duracell DL 1/3N) goes in, Leica manual says I should expect to get about 65 rolls of 36 exposures to a set: I'm getting more like 15 rolls. Leica manual says I should get a warning of low battery. I don't remember any such warning. Dead. Does this experience match anyone else's? Am I burning up batteries at a greater rate that I should expect (seems as if I am). Am I can candidate for a Leica Day checkup (or any other kind of checkup)? bill h
