They flash a dozen or so super fast flashes, read the reflections in the matrix, compute the distances, and adjust for a 'perfect' flash exposure. That is, to my understanding, the cutting edge of flash technology, and I don't see that in the flagship Leica (but then I don't have an R8 or R9, though I can read) The addition of high-speed flash is great though, a little late, but welcomed. - - marc On Saturday, September 21, 2002, at 04:51 PM, Rolfe Tessem wrote: > > > --On Saturday, September 21, 2002 7:12 PM -0400 "B.
