Snap Happy Posted April 4, 2016 Share #1 Posted April 4, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I recently acquired a used Leica M9, after using an M6 Classic for many years (and before that an M3). I have a very occasional need for bounce flash, so after reading a recommendation online of the Canon Speedlite 299T I purchased one for next to nothing. Sure enough it works like a charm on the M6. Now I’m wondering if it will be compatible with my M9. I’m not keen to try it out without some feedback from the knowledgeable people here on this forum. Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Bachmann Posted April 4, 2016 Share #2 Posted April 4, 2016 I don't have the same flash, but have used Canon EOS specific radio triggers on the M9. I had to put tape over the Canon proprietary pins for reliable results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Set Mode, Manual Full Mode and Manual 1/16 Mode. If a prolongation cable is needed, use Nikon SC-17 spiral cable. http://www.cameramanuals.org/flashes_meters/canon_speedlite_299t.pdf Edited April 4, 2016 by Guest Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
