Big advantage: the cord is on the left (hand) side of the adapter (the one which is plugged in the body's hotshoe). That cable is also much less cumbersome than the Nikon SC17 (that I also have). Don't be fooled by the fact there is no third supplementary contact on the Contax cable. The M6 and the R8 don't use that third contact. Lucien
