Most likely there are some more figures available now, based on practical experience. I'm now using my M6 TTL for almost four months and took close to 300 pictures after which the flashing LED's of the light meter indicated an "empty" battery. The (unloaded) battery voltage is 2.75V so the indicator seems to work well. 300 pictures is far less than the 2900 indicated by Leica. I must admit that I usually take more light meter readings (2 to 3) before taking the picture which ofcourse affects battery life in a negative way compared to the figures given by Leica. I used a Duracell Lithium battery (one of the types specified by Leica). Regards, Piet
