It was expensive but you only cry once. Wonderful that this topic pops up today! I have just received my (second hand) SF20 and am about to try it for the first time on my sons second birthday party later today ;-) I will be shooting with an M6TTL. Thing is, I do not know how to! It did not come with a manual. My Internet search resulted in: http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=002nMh but I am not sure if I miss things. Also, I am not sure about the difference between 'fill' and 'regular' flash operation. Is the first where I set the camera to 1/50, ignore the M6 meter information and let the TTL do its magic, while in the latter I do my shutter and apature according to the M6 light meter and have the flash (at -1 or -2) just 'play along'? While writing this it does not make sense, since in that way I have a chance to fail the sync between flash pulse and shutter opening. Sorry for all this beginners ignorance... - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
