freddyb Posted January 17, 2016 Share #1  Posted January 17, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I have problems to fire my Contax TLA 200 on the hotshoe of a recently purchased Leica M6 classic. I fidnthat weird because from what I know the Leica M6 classic pretty much takes any flash you put on the hotshoe (without TTL at east). I haven't tried it off camera yet. I did some research on this topic but couldn't find any previous threads covering it. Therefore hereÄs my question: Has anyone of you encountered similar problems or has used this flash on the Leica M6 classic successfully? The Canonlite flash which came with the Canonet QL 17 III doesn't fire either. As the Leica M6 classic has just been purchased I want to make sure that the hotshoe isn't damaged. To be honest, that's what I suppose at the moment.... Thanks for your help! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpavich Posted January 18, 2016 Share #2  Posted January 18, 2016 No, but an easy way to  find out is to  buy a set of cheap flash triggers and test them on the hot shoe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted January 18, 2016 Share #3 Â Posted January 18, 2016 If two flashguns aren't firing I'd suspect the connection to the hotshoe is damaged. Â The only thing I can suggest is just to check that the flash is fitted to the hotshoe properly - I know some have had issues because there's a small screw at the front of the hotshoe and they've had to cut a notch into the flash shoe for it to fit fully so it would make contact. Check it and let us know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
