TTL with new flashes????

Does anyone know if The Leica SP-40, or any of Leica's new flashes, will work with the R9/DMR?

 

I'm considering a flash for my T and was wondering if it is backwards compatible. I know that the SP-20 (designed for the M6 TTL), and my old Metz 54 (for my R9) don't play well with the Leica T--not even in auto mode, it seems--and certainly not in TTL mode since these were not made for digital sensors.

 

Does anyone know about the newer models? Any help appreciated.

I use the R8 with the SF 58 and it works fine, the R9 even works in HSS mode on the SF 58 :) Just like the M240 and S006 I have used with the flash gun.

Honestly i find the SF-58 a tiny bit overpriced at the 350-400 euros they go for....

 

Sadly enough i was just outbid today on a Metz MZ54 + SCA 3502. I think outside of the SF-58 itself thats the most recent/modern combination you are going to find compatible with the R8/9
