Thanks for any experience and suggestions in advance..." George, I resisted getting an SF20 flash for my M6s for a long time. I thought it looked too much like a toy. Finally, I relented and got one. I love it! While the M6 still have the 1/50 sec limitation, the TTL works great and I can balance room light with flask to avoid the "Shot in a cave" look of many flash pictures. I have never had red eye -- even with a 90mm -- with the SF20. Using the 28mm diffuser makes the photos softer so when i photograph my grandson, I leave it on. It is light and easy to carry in a pocket or case. I just got my R8 and I know I will like using it there. I still use my Vivitar when I am photographing a large group or where I need more power. But the SF20 is the one I carry with me most of the time. Try it! ...Ken Lassiter - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
