Subject: [Leica] Lots of Off Camera TTL Flash Questions

I would like to acquire a second and possibly third TTL flash for use 
with my R8 and/or R6.2. After doing some research of the LUG archives 
want I think I require is a Nikon SU-4 Wireless Slave Controller, a 
second Metz Flash with a Nikon Metz SCA 3402 Module to act as a TTL Slave.

Can someone who's actually tried this confirm that the Metz TTL Flash 
when mounted on the SU-4 with the Nikon Metz SCA 3402 Module will 
respond in TTL concert with the R8 with a Metz Flash with a Metz 3501 
SCA Module mounted as the Master on the camera and the resultant 
exposures turnout correctly? With ROM lenses on the R8 will all of the 
Flashes pick-up the aperture, focal lenght and film speed correctly?

Additionally, does someone know if I can use a similar set-up with my 
R6.2 camera, using all of the above equipment, except for replacing the 
Metz 3000 Series Modules with the correct Leica (SCA 351) and Nikon (SCA 
343?) Metz Modules?

I also have the Leica SF-20 Flash. Can this unit be used as a Master 
Flash unit with the R8 and/or my M6ttl camera and a Slave Flash on the 
SU-4? Will a Nikon TTL Speedlight Flash work without a Metz Module on 
the SU-4?

TIA.

Regards,

Greg
