Some of them.  I'd have to check the negative roll to remember which is
which for sure.  The ones where I'm really close to the subject are with a
Canon SLR.  Can't focus that close with my M.

Just plug the PC cord in and away you go.  Seems like the wrong way to use
an M, though.  And I like the ergonomics of where the PC connects on the
Canon better.  Not sure why you'd want the PC cord dangling in your face all
the time with the Leica.  I'm guessing the location of the PC socket wasn't
well thought out.

It's great seeing the flash when it happens through the viewfinder, though.
You know *exactly* what you got.  I'm always surprised with my SLR since I
never see the exposure.  :)
