Subject: [Leica] Rolls per set of batteries (M6)

Same here with my "Classic" M6 - I hardly ever need to change the battery. 
But wasn't there an issue with the very early M6 models to do with excessive 
consumption - I think that at some point, the circuitry was updated, around 
the same time that the metering sensitivity was increased - or is my memory 
defective? The move from Wetzlar to Solms is roughly when I think it was.

Lew,

Don't know for sure, but the battery in my M6TTL lasts about 1 year, with an 
average of 2 -3 rolls per week.  Even when I have several trips and shoot 14 
or more rolls it will take a year to run it down.
