John,

If you look at METZ official web site:

<http://www.metz.de/mecablitz/eng/leica.html>,

you will see about the SCA 3501 for M6TTL: "as of M1"

I believe it's better to have "M1" engraved on the adapter
when used with M6TTL.

Like it's better to have "M5" engraved on the adapter for
Nikon F100.

Lucien
