PERIOD AN ABSOLUTE WASTE OF TIME! Because using a flash with any M camera is an absolute waste of beautiful natural light motivating you in the first place to take a picture! It isn't the flash going poof destroying what you are seeing ... the for real light on the subject! For heaven sakes its' the light you see on your subject screaming at you to take the picture in the first place! Not the flash! DEBATE? Ridiculous to even consider it in the first place. Hell one is either a photographer with the ability to see beautiful light and subjects working together and making an exposure to capture exactly what's making your belly squiggle with excitment at the scene before you to shoot! And once again, not the damn flash destroying what you are looking at! Dr. ted :-) Am I beginning to sound like an anti-flash person? ;-)
