Salisbury knows how to build electronics, maybe Leica should outsource to Naim Audio 😜 I've got a NAP 160 bolt down I bought for $450 a few years back. Once I got a new cord for it (with the bulgin connector) it sounds fantastic. Appears to have had a non-Naim recap at some point. DAC V1 for the preamp. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 29, 2024 Posted March 29, 2024 Hi charlesphoto99, Take a look here M10 Batteries. Availability (merged thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Deejaybeephoto Posted March 29, 2024 Share #22 Posted March 29, 2024 Bought a used M10 battery from MPB. No issues and a big saving from new. I’ve also bought used batteries from them for other cameras similarly with no issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the time when the Nikon D70 appeared with 6.1MP. Today, every smartphone has a better dynamic range and image quality than the D70. Using it is more of a nostalgic affair than a necessity. By the way, you can still buy batteries for the Nikon D70 today for a mere 12€ =~12$. This is probably the reason why it still works today. So this has nothing to do with magic, but rather with the supply of spare parts. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Miranda Posted March 30, 2024 Share #25 Posted March 30, 2024 What is all this about electronics being eWaste after 10 years? My Apple II+ goes strong and it is from 1979... as does my HP41CX calculator from 1986. TI-59 calculators from 1977 can now gain new life with rebuilt battery packs... Hopefully the Leica's will also. Welcome, dear visitor!

The batteries that is, not the technicians offering a posthumous battery service. I wonder if even these ghostly technicians will be able to rebuild M10 batteries? The DMR batteries probably didn't have an authentication chip, but the M10 batteries might. If there is a chip, maybe you can transfer it to a rebuilt battery, but maybe not. It's reassuring when a battery is widely cloned by third parties. The NP-95 for my X100T is no longer made by Fuji, but it's easy to find high quality replacements. Maybe there needs to be some sort of consumer legislation like the EU has for USB-C phone chargers, mandating a set of open generic standards for batteries and requiring all devices sold to be compatible with one of them. There's no need for every company to come up with its own proprietary standard that may be discarded a few years later. You could probably cover everything from a pocket P&S to a pro mirrorless or dSLR with maybe 4 sizes. Or at least ban authentication chips for batteries as anti-competitive (and do the same for printer cartridges while they're at it). 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinjun Posted March 30, 2024 Share #31 Posted March 30, 2024 And I've still got the original version of the Canon 1DS I bought 21 years ago. It's quite easy to get decent batteries on Amazon and the camera works as well as ever. It doesn't get many outings these days but I use it especially if I need to do macro. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have all bought into the whole dastardly plan, buying convenience in exchange for planned obsolescence. When was the last time anyone here had their electric kettle repaired? Then there is the manipulation of customers through firmware and software upgrades, where you cannot do certain things or access particular services if you don't have a 'current' OS on your computer.

KFo Posted March 31, 2024 Share #35 Posted March 31, 2024 OMG, HP calculators! Still have a couple. Picked up a 15C re-issue back while I was still working, used it all the time although I preferred the 35S mostly. RPN is the Leica M of calculators; only for those that know how to use it or are willing to learn. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

01maciel Posted March 31, 2024 Share #39 Posted March 31, 2024 I wouldn't be surprised if there was a correlation between the former use of HP calculators with RPN and Leica users. Even back then, my fellow students didn't understand why I was using what they thought was a strange device instead of a proper calculator. Today it's exactly the same, only with my Leica. 😂 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
