Leica SF C1 flash controller: does it work with other camera brands?

I have 2 SF 60 flashes also and the system worked well when I used the SL system which I no longer have.  I just ordered the Hasselblad X2d and would like to know if the controller can be activated by this camera or is it Leica specific.

TTL systems are not interchangeable 

'it will only work with Leica 

You can use the SF C1 with your other cameras if you set a manual power option. Just like many other systems.

Thank you Photoworks.  I don't need TTL as I would be using a flash meter.  Too bad the controller doesn't have a PC sync port as I would like to use it when shooting film on my TLRs as well.

Thank you again. I just remembered I have 3 either NOS or practically new Nikon SB16 flashes in storage that I can also retrieve along with Pocketwizards to see if the Rolleiflex TLRs trigger the flashes.  I also have an older Seikonic 358 flash meter with the PW module to enable remote triggering. 
 

I just used the SF C1 and 2 SF 60s with my M11P for the first time and it worked perfectly in TTL mode.
