paulsydaus Posted November 28, 2013 Share #3 Posted November 28, 2013 Yes, a great feature that for some reason isn't documented on the website or in the manual... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roey Posted November 28, 2013 Share #4 Posted November 28, 2013 Yes, a great feature that for some reason isn't documented on the website or in the manual... It is documented in the English and the German manuals -- Just search for HSS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great image on your Flickr page![/quote'] Thanks allot and I must say I have not really used the HSS or flash in general yet on the M but I will once I need it and then feel happy I bought the SF58 last year for a whopping 600 euro (I think) Happy to make people happy, and thanks for your compliments on my Flickr Gallery, I try doing my best, and am now in the process of creating a new personal website...

mwilliamsphotography Posted December 6, 2013 Share #11 Posted December 6, 2013 with a TTL extension cord. What TTL extension cord supports HSS with the SF58? HSS works for producing higher sync speeds if the lighting conditions aren't to demanding. You have to be pretty close to the subject, and the subject can't be too dark in relation to the background once you expose for that background to avoid blowing it out. Speed-lights are relatively weak light sources, and HSS makes them even weaker. Just sayin' - Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonki-M Posted December 6, 2013 Share #12 Posted December 6, 2013 Pocketwizard makes FlexTT5 for Canon and Nikon that is capable of wireless TTL. Perhaps Leica may work with the Nikon version? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaeger Posted September 2, 2018 Share #13 Posted September 2, 2018 After 5 years from this original post, will M240 HSS with SF-60, anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillbeers15 Posted September 18, 2018 Share #14 Posted September 18, 2018 I'm not completely certain that the SF60 should work on M240 but think it should work as the reverse is true,... cause I purchased my SF58 when I had my M9. It worked on my M240 and M10 and SL later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaeger Posted September 21, 2018 Share #15 Posted September 21, 2018 The SF40 works well too, in case you guys want to know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillbeers15 Posted September 22, 2018 Share #16 Posted September 22, 2018 The SF40 works well too, in case you guys want to know. Off camera flash provides much more flexibility & options to fill and light your subject in non ideal ambient light conditions and provide artistic appeal to the pics just as a wide open fast lens can provide. On camera flash can also do the above but with limits through bouncing off bigger surfaces to redirect and soften the light source which SF40 can provide.
