dugby Posted February 27, 2023 Share #2 Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) Have you seen the informative “youtube by F/Stops” that explains how 1/64 and 1/32 strengths can be flexibly changed on the fly whilst utilizing ISO1600 and f4 with the EF-X20 on a Leica Digital M. It was titled : This is some serious “on-camera” flash! What a gem! I personally find the Leica SF26 to be outstanding, and the TTL pre-flash is almost invisible to the subjects Edited February 27, 2023 by dugby 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoworks Posted February 27, 2023 Share #3 Posted February 27, 2023 The flash in nice and small is night situations. It was underpowered in outdoor sunny situation, and the batteries are small. The one i was using on the Q2 was a little snuggle fit, it was pushing down on the top plate. At the end i found TTL more useful in fluid situation going in and out , indoor and outdoor like an event. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking about the sf40 but that one is just so much bigger in size Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

satijntje Posted March 22 Share #9 Posted March 22 Will that little flash unit from the D-Lux8 function on a M Camera? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
budjames Posted March 22 Share #10 Posted March 22 I have this combination. The Fuji X-20 flash is a nice compact unit but can only be used in manual mode on the Leica. I don't think it is made anymore. Regards, Bud James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul925 Posted March 25 Share #13 Posted March 25 The Godox IM20 and IM22 may be worth taking a look at for someone looking for a manual mini flash given their $33 price tag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velo-city Posted April 20 Share #14 Posted April 20 (edited) I tried the im30. it was a bit uncomfortable as the hotshoe is at the rear of the m11 and the flash doesn't taper forwards, so as a left eye user it kind of was always pressing my forehead/eyebrow. its a decent flash for the money though, manual mode is fine. it really benefits from some serious diffusion as its pretty harsh even on lower power - some trace taped over worked well. my m11 went weird after using it each time though. wouldn't turn on properly. finally it would come to life after 5 mins or so. I put it down to another Leica weirdness, #962 .... but maybe it was just my body. incidentally, after using the flash the first time, the hotshoe cover was lose and barley stayed in.
