Maybe they will fix the rangefinder flare by then... Regarding high speed flash synch: I used an OM-3Ti for several years just for the high speeed flash synch of the F280 flash. The OM-3Ti is fully manual, having a mechanical shutter. The battery is needed for the flash-quench circuitry, but the shutter is free of any circuitry. Fill flash at high shutter speeds is excellent if you like to shoot wide open in daylight. I am overjoyed that Leica is putting this in the M camera. I'm very glad now that I put off 'upgrading' my 0.85 to a TTL model. - - marc - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
