M-11 flash sync with viso?

[PGJ]

With the M-11 ( or even M-10) If I have the visoflex viewer in the accessory shoe, how do I get a connection for flash synchronization.

Normally I would use a PC fitting for studio flash, or a hot-shoe to PC adapter, or or a hot shoe extension cord , or even a flash sliding into the hot shoe. But the flash contacts appear to be blocked completely if the visoflex is in place. 
 

Is there a workaround?

Same as "Drink or Drive".😩

So how do I get one with a PC connection added? 

Can the M-11 even be modified ?

Do I special order one direct from Leitz and they do the work before shipping it to me?

Or do I buy one first and then find someone who can add this connection?  

Any ideas on a repair shop that could handle this modification?

Leica does not believe in flash photography 

lol. That is why you get a noctilux. 
 

silly of you trying to create light.

Only the Typ 240 cameras would allow you to use flash and the EVF at the same time.  It required the accessory Multi-Function Hand Grip.  If you need both the SL series is your choice.
