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

OK, I'm going to sound like Mark Rabiner - but why would you spend
$2000-$3000 (at least) for an M8, and go for the cheapest batteries? If you
get a genuine Leica battery and it nurns up your camera, you wknow who to
call and who top blame. If a no name $20 battery blows up your camera, what
are you going to do?

I can see someone using a $15 Jupiter lens if they want certain "look," but
what possible advantages are there to a cheap battery except that it's
cheap?
