Subject: [Leica] Flash / PC Cord Question

On his "Cameraquest" site, I believe that Steven Gandy sells a slip-on dual 
accessory shoe for just this purpose.  I do not know if it becomes a hot 
shoe.  I could be wrong about any or all of this, but look at 
http://cameraquest.com/ and work from there.
