I use a SF-20 sometimes but would love to bounce the flash sometimes. My question: by "leica adaptor" do you mean an apparatus that connects the actual flash unit to the camera's hot shoe that is independant of both the flash unit and the camera or do you mean something more integrated like the changable bottoms that changed the Nikon SB-16A into a SB-16B? I have no Metz dealer locally to help me out on this one so I haven't handled any of the flashes about which I hear so much on this group. Thanks in advance.
