As anti-Leica as it may seem, I need to use a flash for some wedding photos comming up. Because of the off-center tripod mounting hole on the Leicas, they don't mount on flash brackets very well. What is your experience with flash brackets? Which work well for the LUG members? (I need one which will "flip" so to keep the flash directly above the lens with both horizontal and vertical shots). Thanks, Phil <<<<<<<<<<< Stroboframe looks good and has the flip effect. But if it's only one wedding you might do better just mounting the flash in the hotshoe or holding it off camera with a flash sync cord. The Stroboframe is expensive. I'm doing a wedding in a couple of days - my first - and will be using the flash off camera with a 24, on camera with the 35. Not ideal, but this is where the M falls down, IMO. Fortunately I'm only assisting a more experienced wedding photographer, so it should be fun. Rob. Robert Appleby and Sue Darlow Via Bellentani 36 41100 Modena Italy Tel/fax [39] 059 303436
