You cannot have TTL flash with an M6 as this requires that there be sensors within the camera. The M6 does not have these. You can use an externally metered flash, however, and there are a scazillion of these on the market ranging from the original Vivitar 283 to the Metz 40MZ-3. I use a Metz 45CL-4 myself -- TTL on my Rollei 2.8GX and Canon EOS 10s, otherwise non-TTL. Metz, of course, is owned by Leica ...
