rewdee Posted September 15, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 15, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, just wondering which ttl flash is compatible with both digital M10 and film M7. Also, what is the most compact flash with auto mode for the 2 Ms. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlashGordonPhotography Posted September 15, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 15, 2017 SF40. Has both TTL and manual (but not a thyristor auto mode). FEC from the dial on the flash. Bounce and swivel. AA batteries. Decent power and balances well on the M. It's a stupidly expensive rebadged Nissan i40. But you just have to suck it up and pay the Leica tax.

pico Posted September 15, 2017 Share #3 Posted September 15, 2017 Does not the SF 24 D work with late Leica Ms? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted September 15, 2017 Share #4 Posted September 15, 2017 It works with the M10 - usually, though sometimes it has glitches for which I can't find the reason. Same with SF 40. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted September 15, 2017 Share #5 Posted September 15, 2017 I don't know this will appeal to others, but the SF 24-D has issues with TTL, but with the M9 and M7 it is very good with its auto-thyristor mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UliWer Posted September 15, 2017 Share #6 Posted September 15, 2017 The design of the SF 24-D fits the M much better than the SF 40. But it's completely inflexible; indirect flash is only possible if you practice a lot of yoga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Gordon, is there any form of illumination of the dials to help change settings in very low light, or do you do it by learning the click-stops much as you might with aperture settings on M lenses?

Gordon Hi Gordon, can you confirm the SF40 works on M7 because i cant find anything online on that. Also, does the SF24d works on M10? Just want to make sure before i get one. No return/exchange where i buy. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onasj Posted September 17, 2017 Share #10 Posted September 17, 2017 I second the SF40. A good balance of small size and good power, reasonable feature set, TTL works (usually). Mounted on the M10 I find the balance and proportions to be reasonable. Of course many are drawn to the M10 for its low light capabilities, but almost any low-light photo can be made even better by a nicely bounced flash, when that's possible to do. The dynamic range of the M10 is much better at ISO 100 than at ISO 8000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Miller Posted September 17, 2017 Share #11 Posted September 17, 2017 I believe the SF40 will only function in Manual on the M7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
