Subject: Re: [Leica] Bad Experience in M6TTL with flash

The M6-TTL has a similar (the same?) flash and exposure control circuitry as
the R8. The flash circuit is triggered through a transistor. No battery
power means that the flash (and metering) circuits will be unable to
function regardless of whether you use the hot shoe or pc connection. No
batteries, no flash.
