I want to get back into doing some macro work, which means a little fill flash with my R5 and soon-to-arrive 100mm f2.8. I guess my options are either a Leica SF20 or a Metz 30, although I understand the Metz is not TTL (and therefore won't be as convenient with my M6 TTL if I ever use flash on it.) Anyway, does Leica or anyone else make and off-camera flash cord for the R5? I didn't see one in the Leica program catalog. Seems like an oversight if they don't, but maybe there's an aftermarket version that's acceptable? I'm used to Nikon and SB-25 flash, which nicely does fill flash (I set the falsh at minus -2/3) with my 200mm Micro-Nikkor. Anybody want to tell me what I'm getting myself into with the Leica R5, 100mm, and whatever else I need to do flowers, mushrooms, butterflies, etc.? thanks. .....Art in NJ, USA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
