No.

There is a flash contact on the back of the camera (one for flash bulbs, one for electronic flash), and they need an adapter to make them usable by the standard compur contact. A competent Leica specialist should have these in a drawer somewhere. The M2 also needs them.

For a hot shoe-only flash unit, I think there are little hot shoe devices that connect to a standard camera socket via a short cable.
