Dear all,

Leica just asked me to publish this statement:

Nikon flashes must never be used on Leica cameras.
By coincidence the contacts have the same position at the hot shoe. But they have different interfaces, (electrically and software-wise).
There is the danger of damaging both parts.
You should only use dedicated Leica flashes of flash guns with a simple hot shoe with only a centre contact.
