I did not bring my M-6 to Shea Stadium for game five of the world series (as an aside -- this is the problem with owning a fairly new LEICA -- fear of taking it certain places!) Instead I stuck it on my mother's Minolta, (in manual mode I got white-out; in automatic I got some reasonable shots). Now to my question: I've read the posts about using (or not using) the SF-20 flash for fill-in (and on buying alternatives cheaply,) but I really want to try to use the SF-20 on my TTL M-6 for fill-in. I want to shoot where there is lot of reflection (windows, aluminum sides) so I want to avoid seeing the flash in the photo. I know about using an orange(?) gel to warm the flash, but what about bouncing the light when the fixed SF-20 is the main light source? Has anyone found or used a dome (diffuser?) on the flash, or is there a way to use a bounce card? yours in amateur hell, denice
