The Nikon SB30 is a nice inexpensive flash that will give you aperture priority in a very small size. For that matter, there are a number of small flashes from Vivitar, Sunpack, and others that can be had for a song that will also work on aperture priority. Heck, I occasionally use the Leica flash that they made for one of their P&S models and it does a great job. In summary, if you want to use TTL flash, stay with the Leica offerings. If you want full tilt and swivel then acquire a SC17 cord(I know there is a new number but I don't ever recall it) or the Zeiss equivalent and hold the flash at whatever angle works for the shot. On the other hand, if just want a cheap flash, look at the junk bins at camera stores for a flash that gives you a couple of aperture choices and use one of those. The thrysister flashes are actually pretty accurate for most shots.

I am a new member of the group. Is there anyone that have experience of using other flashes on the M6 TTL than the SF20 or SF24. I am looking for a small and light flash with flexible head able to give indirect light. Is there anyone who can give me some feeback on this. Best regards from Stein Run Johansen
