At Keeble and Shuchat I found a cute little gizmo called a "Pocket
Wizard", used, that seems to do the same thing as the Quantum radios,
though perhaps over not as wide a range. It's a radio transmitter and
reciever; the transmitter mounts on the hot shoe of the M6 and the
receiver mounts with Velcro to the side of my flash powerpak. The pair
cost me about $95.

I've taken a set of test pictures on Portra 160NC and had them developed
at my local 1-hour store, and I'm extremely happy with the results. 

It's funny: the Leica was originally invented to be an exposure meter,
and that's what I'm using it for, since there's no 1-hour development
service for the 120 film used by the Rollei.
