You should have gone for Zeiss-Ikon RF... tried both, the ergonomy of
the ZI is far better, the finder is wonderfull, and the optics are
cheaper and even better than the leica one...

Objet : [OM] Re: Battery question
But you've gotta take off the motor drive to get to it, and I only take
'em off if I need to put in new batteries. On the Leica, it's just a
click-stop on the shutter speed dial below "B" so the MD doesn't have to
come off. Except to load the damn thing, which is a PITA doing it from
the bottom. But I'm getting better at it.
