Assuming that the Leica rangefinder photographer is probably less likely to use flash than your average SLR user it stands to reason that when the M photographer is forced to use flash he would prefer to use as LITTLE flash as possible. TTL metering allows auto flash exposure at any aperture. Presumedly that would include very wide open apertures thus allowing the use of just the slightest amount of flash to fill in shadows or raise contrast just a bit . . .
