Hi

I tried various flashguns and I think that the Vivitar 2800 (as used by
David Alan Harvey!) is pretty good on the M6. I use it for fill-flash when
needed, often handholding at 1/8 or 1/4 and then using the flash to light /
stop part of the movement of the subject. It works pretty well, particularly
if you gel the flash to match (more or less) the colour of light in the
surroundings.

Hope this helps

Harold
