Yes a zillionth flash inquiry. Thinking of one unit that would work with both M's. Suppose that's not rocket science. As more of a natural light guy, I'm kind of buffaloed by the whole flash scene... and need to bite the bullet and learn it as a tool, but not make it my specialty. Bounce, fill, supplement... that's about it. If a modern flash will excel, I'm in favor of it.
Looked Leica SF24, and Metz's newer stuff: Mecablitz 36 C-2 and earlier 20 c-2 (now discontinued). I see the 26 AF-2 looks remarkably like a Leica badged unit, but there's some noise it's not compatible with M's unless you buy the Leica badged unit? Maybe it's wishful thinking to try to get one unit that could be used for both cameras? I've seen folks suggest Vivitar - which I've had waaaaaaaaaaaay back, but figured there'd be something newer, better?
Suggestions welcome. Thanks!
