Nikon SB 28 on Leica M6

Hi, How can I use a Nikon SB28 flash unit on my Leica M6TTL without damaging their circuits? Understand that TTL auto is not possible. Normal auto is ok to me. Thanks Tom Tong

You have to use a hot shoe adapter (Kaiser makes one) to isolate the TTL contacts. The one I have slips into the hotshoe and plugs into the pc socket.

Or you can tape off the bottom of the flash foot, and use a short pc/pc cable to connect from the side of the flash to the back of the camera.
