Hi Simon, Steve,

I'm just back from a trip during which I used a TTL M6 and an SF20.  In my
humble opinion, the SF20 is the perfect flash for an M6 TTL.

Small but with an elevated reflector to avoid red eye.  It works.
Light. Very.
Powerful. Enough.
Reasonable on batteries; switches itself to standby after three minutes.
Easy enough to use on non TTL bodies.
Also a good match for an R8.
Impossibly easy to use - virtually foolproof in TTL mode.
