j. f. Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Does anybody know of a way around prolonging the battery life of a Leicaflex SL2 MOT camera. I hope somebody can tell me if this is a problem with this camera or not. It seems from the manual that there is no on/off position which suggests it will run out of juice quickly, strange, and I wonder why: 'The Leica SL2 is switched on when the rapid transport lever is swung into the measuring position (in the Leicaflex SL2 Mot special model the exposure meter is constantly switched on)' Can the camera be adjusted so it works same as the SL2 or will keeping the lens cap on when not in use be of any help? Thanks, Gavin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_layton Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I owned an SL-2 Mot years ago, and from what I remember, battery life is extended when the lenscap is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug herr Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 The lens cap will extend the battery life because when no light reaches the meter cell no current is drawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
