LUGers, my apology to all of you and to Leica, I have maid a short test yesterday morning in a shop with R7, R8, SCA351 = an SCA3501. R7 + SCA351 =3D OK R7 + SCA3501 =3D OK, as far as whe can judge in the viewfinder.(lightning= + synchro 100) R8 + SCA3501 =3D OK R8 + SCA351 =3D the TTL look OK, but the adapter don't transmit the sync= hro speed (250') !! The moral: you really need a SCA3000 Flash gun + SCA3501 with your R8. I hope that Leica will publish, in a future Leica Photography, a table of= compatibility, like they do for the M motors. I don't see why whe have to do it by ourself.
