The beauty of the Leica is its speed, silence and unobtrusiveness. No one ever accused a flash of meeting at least the last criterion. And the fastest lens you will find for your IIIf will be a 50/1,4; you'll more likely end up with an f/2 lens and may need to push 400 film or use one of the super high speed emulsions.
