If you look at the Contax TLA360 it has a similar mechanism. When I mounted the SF-20 on the M7 the connection was very tight, enough that tightening the screw down would only be necessary to keep the thing from being inadvertently knocked off. And even then you should never need to tighten it so much as to effect the finish on the camera. I have a question about using the flash off the camera. If you use the Contax TLA100 extension cord does it provide the TTL function or do you have switch to Auto? Don >Along with my M Motor, I received my SF-20.
