You want to bounce the SF-20? No problem, just get a TTL cord from either Nikon (SC17) or Contax (100TLA) and you will be in business. I just hold the flash in my hand but a wide range of brackets are available to put the flash where ever you would like it. As to the questions below Metz makes adapters to mount their flashes on many different cameras. These include Leica but which adapter you need depends on the model of the camera and the flash you want to use. Go to: http://www.metz.de/1_metz_2000/index.html for more information. Quantum also makes adapters that allows their flashes to work on Leica cameras. Go to: http://www.qtm.com/ for more info on them. The cheapest and lightest solution is just to buy the above TTL cables.
