[Leica] M8 batteries... I think I am giving up......

[imagist3 at mac.com (George Lottermoser)]

 From what I read that may be true for M9 shooters.

With my M8 and both the AC and Auto charger;
I've never found a two battery "shoot and charge" rotation a problem.

(the R8/DMR is another matter) ;~(
