Anyway if some other company came out with a rangefinder camera with a higher sync speed, real TTL flash capabilities, and took my M lenses I'd be all over that....I like shooting flash with my M6 as I see the exact moment of exposure and see the flash trip, with SLRs there is the mirror blank out. And the 1/50 sync speed is just too slow to kill bright ambient in some situations so the higher sync speed would be nice. - -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net >> I don't think I'm alone in this.
