Subject: [Leica] R5/R7 TTL Flash
From: "David E. Strang" <dstrang@up.net>

I picked up a Metz 40MZ3 flash a few months ago with the SCA3501 adaptor and
TTL flash
use is simple.

Well, I wanted to utilize the flash on my R5 and R7, so I picked up a SCA351
module. All documentation
I have says I can do TTL flash, but my Gossen Ultra Pro says NO! When the 40
MZ3 with SCA351 is on
either the R5 or R7, in TTl mode with the flash, it never displays the
f-stop that the lens is set to. Firing the
flash at my light meter also shows no change in output no matter what
aperature is set.

What do I need to do to get TTL flash with both cameras?

Could somebody please reply as I have a wedding to shoot Saturday and I
would love to use TTL mode
with these camera.

Regards,
