Bill,

Oh well I guess this bit of engineering speculation was off the mark: 
pity the shoe isn't bigger, I never felt it was very secure with large or 
even small flash units (gasp!) which I use when I need them. I find it 
amazing that some people cannot grasp that flash is useful, indeed 
essential, in a lot of shooting situations. Sure if you are shooting 
black and white outdoors it isn't but    use my M in a lot of low light 
situations where more light, or cleaner light is essential to get a 
publishable image of the subject I am hired to photograph. Weird! For 
these reasons I am one of the minority who hopes for better flash 
facilities for the M - then it would be my main camera.

Bests
