I used to use a Metz 32Z.  I was never really happy with the way it balanced
on the M6TTL, and unlike other flashes I had, its light really bothered my
wife.  She gets migraines from certain kinds of strobe lights, and just
single flashes from this one bothered her.  So for all of those reasons, I
sold it.

The TTL worked wonderfully.  I dialed in -1 2/3 stops on the flash, and it
gave perfect fill flash every time.  I just decided that using a flash on
camera didn't really suit the way I like to shoot with Leicas.

Anybody have experience with using some kind of remote flash trigger with
their Leica?
