What is the explanation? >Eng Eng - Welcome to the LUG. I have always been an available light photographer, hating obvious flash with a passion. A few weeks ago I got two SF20's to use with my M6's and R8 when there is absolutely not enough light for a Noctilux and for situations where fill-flash is needed. I expected to be disappointed in such a small flash with no bounce capabilities. The only explanation I can give is that you have to try it to believe it. Out of over 100 rolls from my last trip, almost all of the flash photos were perfectly exposed and not at all obvious flash shots. You just have to try it.
