I polled an old friend of mine who's on a major newspaper, and he said the trick of choice in his neighborhood was to make a wrist strap to hang a Vivitar 283 from (left wrist) (I used a hot shoe adapter with a tripod hole in the bottom to screw the strap into), and use the 283's eye's extention cord on the camera. I'll be using a Stofen omnibounce diffuser, also. Focus with the flash hanging from the strap on your wrist, then grab the flash and raise it overhead for the photo. --Michael >-----Original Message-----> From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >[mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Philip> >Kokoczka >Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2000 4:34 AM> To: >leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >Subject: [Leica] Flash bracket>> >Yup-the subject was correct.
