Compatible M6TTL flashes

So, you got an SF-20? Now, get a bracket and you'll be done.

Of course, the camera rig grows in size... a lot.

The good thing about shooting indoors with a Leica flash is that, since the synchronized shutterspeed is so slow (1/50), very often will you get the background lit, and you can avoid red-eye by lowering the flash output. Of course, that also beats the purpose, as you find yourself using flash with very low shutterspeeds (like 1/30 or 1/15). The results are, however, most satisfying. I speak from experience: I have two M6TTL bodies and (alas!) only one SF-20, but I keep it more or less busy.

Thanks.
The flash will only arrive a couple of weeks from now, so I'll just have to wait.
And I already have a bracket, from my Evil-DSLR kit.
But I don't think I'll use it. M6TTL mounted with a bracket and a funny looking flash is a bit too ridiculous. 😛

I have done that many times. M6 with off camera flash (SB22 flash with canon off shoe cord and bounced). You don't need a third hand if you use a wrist strap attached to the flash. I learned about this trick from Sean Reid's site, and it's really helpful.
Anyway, when focusing I simply let go the flash and leave it hanging on my wrist. When done focusing, I grab the flash and shoot. Or, you can also use zone focusing, set it at f/5.6 and just shoot... some people set it at f/8, that way you don't need to focus the lens every time.

Yes, probably it's much more convenient to use flash with tilt and swivel head, but you can also use off shoe cord easily with no problem if your flash don't have swivel head.

Exactly, Bob.
Once you know how to focus in advance, the need for the third hand is gone. (I also have experience with this as well)
and if I'd have to mount the flash on the camera's body after all, it wouldn't be the end of the world.
The wrist strap thing sounds interesting though. Thanks for the tip.
