[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have an M2 and an R7. I use the R7 almost exclusively for its TTL flash capability. I'm thinking of getting rid of it and getting an M6, which I have wanted for years. As much as I like the R7, I think I'm just a rangefinder guy after all. If I do this, I'll probably get one of those Metz units that has its own fill-flash capability (I'm using a Metz 32Z2 now; I would replace that with a fancier Metz). Does anyone have experience with this M6/sophisticated-Metz combination? I'm trying to get a sense of whether I'll miss TTL too much. I don't do a lot of flash photography, and when I do I like to not have to think about it too much. I realize the M6/Metz combination will require more thought, but if it isn't too bothersome and the results are pretty reliable and good, then I'm fine. Flash isn't an important part of my life, and I've got a good selection of M lenses, so that isn't an issue. Any advice, stories, or ramblings will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Kermit
