I don't really use flash; it doesn't suit me. But the best thing
about using a flash on a Leica M is that if you are observant you can
SEE how the flash illuminates the subject. That's quite educational.
Of course except for the M8 and M9 it's almost impossible to use mixed
flash and natural light because of the slow sync speed. Like someone
said when the M6 TTL came out "Flash is what Nikons are for".
