Both times were at weddings. I look at it this way: One of the biggest advantages to a Leica rangefinder for me is that it's easier to focus with in low light. If I'm in a low light situation where I'm going to shoot flash anyway -- like these party prints on color print film -- I might as well use the Leica and get the pic in focus. Sure it looks and feels funny. Maybe this is the purpose for the Leica winder -- to add ballast to counter the weight of the flash. Bob (just call me flash) McEowen
