SHphoto seems to have a plentiful stock (always had it appears..)

My dealer asked if I wanted some spare batteries, I asked for 4, we settled on 2...

When I bought my M8 last week, I also bought a spare battery at the same time. I bought my camera from Leica Berlin.

Sounds like a great vacation trip.
On this side of the puddle, these things are still scarce.

Michiel, I received mine today also, from my dealer in The Hague...

BTW IMHO the battery works fine, I can easily make 400+ shots when it's fully loaded.

I wonder how much Leica makes in M8 battery sales alone?

It's a painfully expensive battery, but I hope Leica makes enough profit to stay in business so they can continue to supply them. I'd hate for my M8 to become an expensive paperweight because the batteries were no longer available.

Here in the UK, they are £46 + tax, figure $90.
