You might ask where your friend got the thing.

I thought they were standard on later cameras.

I have a spare chrome coin slot battery cover that I bought in Germany a few years ago. I would let it go for a king's ransom but I am far, far away from Seattle!

My M6 (non-TTL) came with a slotted one, but Jonathon eastland's Leica M book suggests that these are Leica R ones (and advises M users to swap to the slotted one). You could try a Leica dealer or look on the web?

I'm pretty sure MPs ship with both styles of cover. Put up a WTB post, maybe you'll find one!

Sherry Krauter has them.

Leica New York sells them for $30 and popflash for $35.
