This stuff was aquired for about 1800 USD. The set is in very good condition , showing only few traces of use. Is this a good price for it? What do you think about the R5 ? Does anybody know if it's OK to use the SF 20 in TTL on it ? Thanks ===================================================================== Jo, The price seems reasonable, IMHO, depending on condition of course. I think it's about 10% less than the going rate for these items. He can't use the SF 20 in TTL mode with the R5. That requires a camera that is compatible with the SCA 3000 standard. In Leicaland, the only such cameras are the R8 and the M6 TTL.
