Flash fill is one of those. There are many professional uses I would like to make of M cameras that I cannot, mostly because of slow sync speed (I could use vivitar 285 and manually do flash fill, but still need the higher sync speed). I fact I have to leave after this post to do an advertising job I would love to do with M. But have you ever tried to use a silver reflector in someone's face? I would love to have an RF camera where I can see the fill flash and see the person's expression at the moment of exposure. Just for me, an M6X please, with 250 sync and maybe a ttl flash meter.
