However, the point is that with the Manual setting on the SF 20 one would think from the instructions that the sync speed on the TTL body is removed from the equation. The M setting is precisely to allow a Leica user the flexibility of using fill in flash whenever, and wherever, desired regardless of the aperture and shutter speed setting one is utilizing; otherwise, what is the purpose of the M setting on the flash? No, I must be missing something...since Rich's SF did the same thing I do not think my flash is at fault. Wonder if this is a defect with many of the SF units, or I am simply not comprehending the purpose of "M" or the "right" way to use the flash.
