[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I think if I ever bought a camera which cost 5000 bucks and I've never spent any where near half that (more like a third that has been my ultra high end) and I've been a photographer for plus 30 years (whose done half my work with Hasselblads) (Leicas Nikons Rolleiflex) and that camera had a reputation for electrical quirks which the M8 certainly does or even if it didn't the last thing I'd ever so is buy a bunch of cheap knock off batteries from some guy off of eBay in Hong Kong. I'd shell out the big bucks for two backups with red dots on them and breath easy knowing that if one of them didn't take a charge I'd take the train to New Jersey and put it on the head of Leicas desk. Or at least the receptionist. Maybe the loading dock guy could get it to work. 200 bucks vs. 5000. Mark William Rabiner Harlem, NY rabinergroup.com
