However, the accessory shoe on the M4 has no electrical contacts that would trigger a flash. Only the M4-2 and the M4-P have a "hot" accessory shoe. Of course, a flash can still be used with a M4 using the correct sync cord. Good luck with your choice!

The M4-2 and M4-P do have "hot" shoes. No one has a hot shoe ? I see picture telling different things ! > Also, the viewfinders > have different framelines too.

The motor is not needed for me ! Thanks ! <> Daniel Rocha - Photographie <> http://www.monochromatique.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
