I doubt that there are any reasonably powered flashes dedicated to Leica cameras, only the little twinkly things for their comapcts and M cameras. When I use flash at all it's Metz 45 CT-3 hammerhead, powerful and very versatile and easy to use. Hope this helps a little. Here's a link to Metz , the SCA models and adapters are the ones you want to look at http://www.metz.de/en/photo_electronics/ They even have a search option to find out which camera is compatible with which flasjh and which adapter you need http://www.metz.de/en/photo_electronics/flashlight_recommendations.142.html Cheers Douglas BTW, nice camera the R7 charcot wrote: > I just returned to the Leica fold with an R7.
