The G's can. I assume Konica will offer the same >technology. <<<<<What were your demands. I can't find a single thing I can't do with my M6 (except fast flash sync) that I could do with a G, yet many things I can do with the M6 I can't do the a G. (Such as 1.4 lenses and available light). As a pro, the G is sorely lacking in fast lenses. - - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO<<<<<<< The demands for using flash, pre M6TTL offered no sane combination when shooting on assignment for press work. Calculations weren't a problem, the old Vivtar 285's have always done the trick. But try loading one atop an M6. It defeats the purpose of the M's design. The G system introduced the TLA200 with a cable for bounce, and was compatible with the other Contax units. Even as things stand now with the new Leica flash unit, has it got bounce capability? Or a cable so you can aim it up at the ceiling like with the G2 and TLA200? If not, doing inside work is going to limit one to direct flash which, as you well know, is a no no in press work. RE fill with G2, this is a sour topic with all their units since most don't offer any ratio control. RE lenses. Yes, Contax glass is not that superfast. But I've never owned or shot with anything faster than f2 or f1.8. Speed here indicates use of natural light, and in most of the work I'm doing I have the required support of flash. And the glass is more affordable, which means one can expand one's versatility without going broke. ONE LAST NOTE: If my work required only natural light, in B&W, I'd go back to the M's in ''a flash''.
