I'm new to the site but I'm a little surprised at several things: 1. The 
unending prattle about cars (who cars--they are just expensive camera cases). 
 2.  The vehemence of debate over eye glasses, and 3.  The lack of 
substantive material concerning Leica Rangefinder Cameras.   One more thing 
baffles me:  How can individuals who are smart enough to appreciate a fine 
piece of gear such as an M camera possible to their digital imaging on PC 
- ---windows computers.  That's like putting a Nikkor 43-86 mm zoom lense on 
your M6 and wondering why your photos aren't sharp.  Like putting a Hundai 
four cylinder engine in your BMW M5 and wondering why there's no acceleration.

Now, on to a Leica question:  Has anyone had experience using a TTL M6 with 
the new flash, the sf-20 (is that the model #?)  I would be interested to 
know.

Finally, any opinions about the 21 elmarit previous to the asph version?  I 
need a 21 for occaisional stuff but not crazy about buying a brand new ASPH.

Thanks,  Kirk
