All the same functionality. Still I guess that doesn't assist in the duo shoe quest, since each lead takes up the hotshoe anyway. Gandy lists some neat multi-shoe setups for the Voigtlander badged stuff, too. Like you I think it is cleaver packaging by Zeiss, and very good to see them continuing to expand in the M area Cheers Hoppy. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Scott McLoughlin Sent: Sunday, 27 August 2006 20:27 To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] new M mount 35mm wide angle camera The coolest feature is the double shoes - one hot, one not. It's so simple, and brilliant. I wish my M6's had that feature. I've taken a few flash pics with my CV 21/4 (external VF more-or-less required), so I used a Vivitar 285 and the little cord that fits into the sync socket. I also like using a CV 28mm metal finder when I shoot with the 28/2. I'd much rather have used my more convenient SF24, but the M6TTL had a "shoe deficit." If Zeiss put this feature onto their regular RF body, I'd be tempted to trade in one of my M6's. Scott Daniel Rocha wrote: > G Hopkinson wrote: > >> Ooh, browsing past the Zeiss site.
