I am referring to the TTL M6 and M7 and their use with a wide angle such as the 24mm and 21mm. I was shooting the CIS Final Eight ( Canada's NCAA equivalent) finals tonight and wanted to use the 24mm on the M6 TTL for the celebration and trophy shots. I ended up mounting the flash and using the cameras finder to keep things centered. I guessed on the framing. My TTL is a .85, so the full finder isn't even close to a 24mm. I developed the film tonight and the team shots on the floor seemed to have been framed good enough, but a bit off center. My SF-20 came with a wide angle diffuser, which I thought was for a 24mm. You would think Leica would have a shoe doubler which for use of a TTL flash and a finder. Regards, Robert - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
