Robinyuill Posted March 8, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 8, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi there. I've just bought a Q and I'm very happy but I have a question regarding a compatible flash unit. I have a SF24D that has been sitting in the cupboard for ages but when I attach it to the Q it seems that it isn't quite connecting as I expected. The shutter speed display on the camera is flashing between speeds and I thought it would sync set to TTL/GNC on the flash unit but it only works when set to A. Am I right to assume that its not the right flash unit and I should get a SF26 or similar. I just need a flash for a family event, not for a lot of use. Regards Robin.

SonomaBear Posted March 8, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 8, 2019 I bought a very inexpensive automatic flash where I set the flash to an aperture value (such a f/5.6), the shutter to 1/125 and the lens to f/5.6 and I get fairly good flash balance. Take a test shot, apply exposure compensation if needed, and fire away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinyuill Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted March 8, 2019 Thanks. I've just seen elsewhere that a Metz 26af (£99 in UK) is virtually the same flash as the Leica version. Any knowledge if this is a good substitute for a Leica unit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
