Advertisement Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Hi kuad82001, Take a look here Is there a way to use off camera flash on the M Monochrom?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
a.noctilux Posted December 11, 2017 Share #2 Posted December 11, 2017 Look here if Leica flash is used : https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/201285-ttl-sync-cord-for-leica-flash/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 11, 2017 Share #3 Posted December 11, 2017 Leica flashes will connect to M cameras using Nikon flash cords, as these are fully cabled for the hot shoe contacts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuad82001 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted December 11, 2017 I have an old Sunpak 622, how would I use that with MM1? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted December 11, 2017 Share #5 Posted December 11, 2017 If you don't use TTL flash, almost every flash cord may be fine. I used Minolta cord from my old Leica R days with Sunpak and Metz flashes on my M. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Albertson Posted December 12, 2017 Share #6 Posted December 12, 2017 Pocket Wizards. Drop the shutter speed to the next slowest speed from the sync speed (e.g., 1/125 instead of 1/180 for the Monochrom) for consistent results. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted December 12, 2017 Share #8 Posted December 12, 2017 I have an old Sunpak 622, how would I use that with MM1? Just set it to auto, select the correct shutterspeed and aperture on the camera and flash away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted December 12, 2017 Share #9 Posted December 12, 2017 Pocket Wizards, indeed! There's nothing special about the Monochrom, or Leica. Probably any of the legacy Pocket Wizards would work. I use this one: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?A=details&O=&Q=&ap=y&c3api=1876%2C%7Bcreative%7D%2C%7Bkeyword%7D&gclid=CjwKCAiAmb7RBRATEiwA7kS8VL4hXotNMVvwn7UWC9c8DKFbHbwnZ1ILwZyUfjRqS2ssZyk_sYujrBoCm2MQAvD_BwE&is=REG&m=Y&sku=844969 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted December 14, 2017 Share #11 Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) When I use a flash with my M-P 240 (which is rarely), I use a set of Phottix Ares wireless flash triggers; these have worked out quite well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A4BR7KG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Edited December 14, 2017 by Herr Barnack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
