PhotoCruiser Posted April 7, 2022 Share #2 Posted April 7, 2022 My recommendation ist to use the search function here! There about 50 treads regarding flash and Q / Q2 in this Forum and another is not really necessary. Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted April 8, 2022 Share #3 Posted April 8, 2022 IMHO, just bite the bullet and get the Leica SF 40 flash unit. It will greatly simplify shooting with flash. I say this after years of using a Nikon SB-25 flash and a Phottix wireless flash trigger set with my M cameras. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcalchi Posted April 12, 2022 Share #5 Posted April 12, 2022 SF-24D is my favorite of all time, and the best Leica flash I've ever owned. Favorite of all my flashes--close tie with my Nikon SB-400 for use on my Nikons. Bad news is, good luck finding either one of these two gems. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted April 13, 2022 Share #8 Posted April 13, 2022 So we should withhold information? I think not. Outside Leica circles it is far from well known that Leica cameras will not have full functionality with non-Leica flashes. Except for PanaLeicas which use the Panasonic protocol. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it with an M10-R & Q2 mostly as a fill flash. I like M mode and adjust it down to just get a little pop when needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luetz Posted April 16, 2022 Share #10 Posted April 16, 2022 Tried various combinations of flashes and triggers before buying the SF60 and Trigger from Leica. Everything else is a compromise and will not give you the optimum features of TTL and OFF-Camera set ups. It is a costly option but so is the camera.

I love the SF-24D, but doesn't the rather slow and bright pre-flash ruin it for use in TTL? Seems like a recipe for blinking, so I use it in auto...
