I know that it is a bit Politically Incorrect to discuss flash but I also 
occasionally use a flash (for family photos etc.). I use an Nikon SB24 
(left over from a Nikon F3 system that I once had). 

The only problem that I have with this (aside from its relative size to an 
M6) is the mounting to the hot shoe - the flash mount is bigger that the M6 
hot shoe and it is very difficult to tighten the flash to an M camera - 
there is not enough clearance between the base of the flash and the camera. 
Perhaps someone else has found a good solution for this.
