Subject: [Leica] R8/DMR w/ Metz 54 MZ-3

Recently I had my DMR repaired by Leica NJ and it came back with the  
firmware update 1.3. Now when I use it with my Metz 54 MZ-3 and the  
SCA 3502 adapter the flash is showing an incorrect ISO value. With  
the camera set to ISO 100 the flash shows ISO 125; camera at ISO 400,  
flash ISO 500 &c.

I use the flash mostly in auto mode, occasionally in manual (TTL only  
with the film back on the R8). The SCA adapter is an older version  
marked M2 (I believe the current version is M4). Curiously, the flash  
behaved normally before the repair and firmware upgrade, and it  
continues to work normally on the R8 with the film back and on my  
M7s. It's only 1/3 of a stop and it's easy to compensate (though not  
easy to remember if I'm switching between cameras on a job).

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Gilbert
