Doug, Are you still using mercury batteries in your 'flexes, or have you had them converted to use the newer batteries?

I replaced one battery last month, otherwise the batteries in the cameras are the ones I installed when I first bought them. ========================================================= To Unsubscribe: Send email to leica-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field.
