We're Leica users for crying out loud! :-) Actually, for the M6 it's hard to beat. But it's not good for the R6. One time is all it takes to slip it in our out of the hot shoe of an R camera and popping the flash as it's crossing a contact and frying the electronics. I hate to keep harping on it, but the 283 is death on newer electronic cameras that use low volatge tripping circuits. =========== Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
