Subject: [Leica] flash

Hi folks.  Although I have been a lurker for a while now, I have learned a 
lot from the regulars on the list.  I am strictly an amateur, although I 
haven't mustered any courage to submit any of my photos to the PAW.  That 
said, I learned to use a rangefinder on a Canon GIII QL17 and learned to use 
a Leica on my grandfather's IIIF BD.  I am still learning.
That said, and realizing most Leica folks would rather use available light, I 
occasionally use flash.  I have had an M2 for about 2 years.  When I got the 
camera, I couldn't get a flash to work, and replaced the adaptor plug 
(correct term?).  Anyway, I was out yesterday shooting some pictures, and 
again I couldn't get the flash to work.  I used the flash on another camera, 
and it worked like a champ., and conversely, other flashes still won't fire 
on the M2.  Is the adaptor plug that vulnerable, or is there something else I 
should be looking at?
Thanks in advance.

Alice Kroehle
