first of all do not attach the flash unit turned on and charged!!!! It is
possible you are causing the R8 flash circuitry to lock up or may have
damaged it by doing this. The other possible problem is the terminals on
the flash unit may not be making good contact.

Please respond to
leica-users
I have recently acquired a used R8, which works OK except for the flash.
The flash gun (an inexpensive one) should work from the hot shoe,
according to the R8 manual.
What happens is that if the flash gun is charged as I fit it to the hot
shoe, it flashes immediately. After it recharges, no amount of shutter
releasing or pressing the depth of field lever causes the flash to go off.
Any ideas?
