Subject: [Leica] M5 Battery Convertability?
From: "Greg J. Lorenzo" <gregj.lorenzo@shaw.ca>

I'm looking seriously at adding a M5 to my kit (I have large hands, plus 
the R8 feels about right).

I believe this camera used mercury batteries. Can this camera be 
converted to power up on something more environmentally friendly and 
available (i.e. silver oxide, etc.)? Once converted, does the meter need 
to be recalibrated?
