erl Posted October 6, 2013 Share #301 Posted October 6, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ted, that is very bad luck. If you were intending to use the M to compete in the Challenge I will probably have an M8 as a spare with me. You are welcome to borrow it for the competition. Of course, the M6 is also a great camera. Your choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted October 7, 2013 Share #302 Posted October 7, 2013 Ted, I have PM'd you with offer of a loaner M9, while I am at Wetzlar. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted99 Posted October 7, 2013 Share #303 Posted October 7, 2013 I'm totally overwhelmed of this two responses.... I will arrive to Wetzlar at wednesday afternoon and stay at hotel Best Western , Karl-Kellner- Ring 40. So it will be plenty of time to decide how to manage these two great offers. I keep in touch. I've have made some precautions, earlier today I've purchased 3 rolls of film, Kodak Gould 200, and dusted of my M6 so i think everything will works out to the best. After all, I shall be in Germany for a week and like to take some photos. I really look forward to this vacation...... /Ted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some MR-4's give accurate readings with a silver oxide cell but mine doesn't. I think some of the later models (maybe the black ones) must have a voltage regulator built in.

Dan Bachmann Posted October 8, 2013 Share #307 Posted October 8, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) If anyone else is unsure about transport to the Leica factory tour and you are staying at "the Hof" leave a message at reception for me (auf den Namen Herr Bachmann) and perhaps we can arrange for a driver in the morning. We are very foggy Bavaria now which may yield some lovely low contrast images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson[/quote'] If you get an adjustment (resistor in parallel I think), then they can be made to take silver oxide batteries instead of the Wein cells.
