As I said, I keep a couple in my bag for emergencies and never leave them in the camera ‘unattended’. The aftermarket battery argument will rage on forever, but in 30+ years of using them, I’ve never had an issue, or met anyone else who has. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yes, loads of cheaper aftermarket ones now. I have two for emergencies and if I use them, I just make sure I don’t leave them in.

Yes, absolutely ridiculous.

The only accessories I’d recommend is a 1/8 black mist filter; this takes the ‘spank’ out of the highlights if you’re shooting in bright conditions. I also use an orange and a red filter. Also, there’s now some good quality 3rd party batteries available, save on the £155 Leica ones.
