For my pictures the ideal stop is 5,6 or even 4, this allows a comfortable shooting distance!, next time I'll try to put on the -1/3 or -2/3, but IMO, the correction I need is at least 2/3. Gracias, saludos desde Barcelona Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org]En nombre de Christopher Williams Enviado el: martes, 10 de mayo de 2005 23:55 Para: Leica Users Group Asunto: Re: [Leica] M6 TTL Flash troubles - I need help Luis, Most of my M6 TTL shooting is at f/4-5.6 with 15th or 30th second indoors. I turn the flash down to 1/3 or even 2/3 power and almost always get a great result unless I get too far away from the subject. Are you shooting inside or outside? Outside can suck when you only have 50th sec to synch from.
