You're right. Well, I don't have expectations to use that camera with a flash, so managing that dial is not a worthy thing for me. Honestly I hate using flash, at least on camera. I don't use flash with my Ms neither. As the little while I've been testing it with the Heliar 15 it seems to work well balanced, a nice outfit. Thanks for your kind words. - -- Pablo Kolodny www.pablokolodny.com > From: Michael Durling <durling@widomaker.com> > Reply-To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2001 08:51:41 -0400 (EDT) > To: LUG <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica IIIc > > Pablo, > > What you have there is a IIIf not a IIIc.
