Yes the manual s**ks! However it's even simpler to use the SF20 on the TTL.
Just set the film speed ON THE CAMERA, open up the lens to a reasonable
aperture, and shoot. There's nothing else left to worry about.

Get the Contax cord so you can use it off camera, use the exposure control
=/- 3 stops, and shoot away! If you need more power get a Metz 32 Z-2 with
the 3501 adapter. It works exactly the same, and since you can tilt and
swivel it you may even dispense with the cord.
