When I use my SF-20 I just set the flash exposure compensation to what I want (usually -1 to -2 stops) and that is it. Shoot away and change your aperture as needed. The flash measures the light through the lens so the set aperture is automatically taken into account. The only thing that I wish they had done is include a way of indicating flash overexposure. It will blink the flash "lightning bolt" at you if you underexpose but will indicate correct exposure even if you overexpose with the flash. > From: Denice Martone <denice.martone@nyu.edu> > > I find Leica flash cumbersome to use because > you have to set the aperture for both the flash and the lens
