I'll echo what a lot of others have said. Flash and Leica Ms go together like oil and water. Yes, it can be done. I bought an M6TTL and Metz TTL-enabled flash. Sold the flash this year after not having used it for a few years. It just never balanced right on the camera, and the 1/50th sync speed meant that it wasn't useful for fill flash in bright light. If you want pictures inside, you'd be hard pressed doing better than a Leica M with fast lenses. If you want pictures inside using flash, I'd recommend one of the latest Canon or Nikon SLRs. -- Eric http://canid.com/
