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?
