Leica R7 - Flash Options

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

Hi

What are the alternatives for a flash for the Leica R7? I know about the Metz 32Z-2 but haven't really seen anything else that does TTL with that body.

Wonder of course why Leica hasn't made the SF20 TTL-compatible with the R6(.2) and R7

Thanks Nils

Any Metz flash fitted with the SCA 351 adapter will work fine with an R7. I have both a 40-MZ3i and a 54-MZ3 and they work great with my R6.2 (same basic flash circuit as the R7). I prefer the newer 54-MZ3 because of its "cobra" styling, but the 40-MZ3i is just as powerful and just as versatile on the camera. I now often use mine as a TTL slave. Works great.
