Never thought I'd do this, but.....

Just purchased another new battery for my M9-P. Haven't used it thoroughly in a while and after 3+ hours and a couple hundred images, went through approximately 1.5 batteries and have the last of my three in the camera. Fully charged, none of the three go fully to 100% anymore and I can see myself using this camera for many more years.

 

I also decided after all this shooting with the 35 and 75 Summicrons, the M262 needs to go in for a warranty cleaning and rangefinder adjustment. On rhe M9, which had a new sensor installed and had the RF adjusted this past May, these two lenses are just wicked sharp, and it's the body that needs a service.
