kparseg Posted July 24, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 24, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi folks, I have Leica S 006 and 120CS, but I had a hard time finding information on macro flashes to use with this combo. Can the SF64 flash be used for this applications (probably not)? What is your macro flash rig? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVB Posted July 24, 2016 Share #4 Posted July 24, 2016 Thanks RVB, will try Canon! This is the one I use http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/239656-USA/Canon_2357A002_MT_24EX_Macro_Twin_Lite.html and I use a RRS bracket system to mount it, like this one http://www.reallyrightstuff.com/B91-QR-Large-Flash-Bracket-with-Orbiting-Tilt-Mount The system looks like this.. If I get a chance I'll post a pic of it on my S. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

sog1927 Posted July 25, 2016 Share #5 Posted July 25, 2016 I use my old Hasselblad macro flash (made by Metz). Again, no TTL because the SCA system doesn't really seem to work with the S (contrary to Leica's advertising). It's pretty similar to the Canon unit.

rogerfcoyne Posted July 27, 2016 Share #6 Posted July 27, 2016 Hello There. I have found the solution to be a VILTROX Macro Ring Lite model JY 670C. The 72 mm lens adaptor will screw into the lens thread of the 120 mm lens. The only downside is that you may have to adjust focus distance of the subject as the front of the lens may contact with the lens adaptor. Available online for around $100AUD's and never a problem with the Chinese knockoff but my two Leica SF 58's failed and were taken back for a refund...
