The SCA 3xxx for the specific system is built in. Iīve seen in in a photo store and for the first look I realized that itīs working only in the specific TTL-mode. It should also work in combo with the TTL cable e.g. SC17 for Nikon. Maybe it works also in manual mode, but I didnīt see any switches to change the aperture for computer flash. the Leicaīs must have a terrific planning system. A few weeks ago, Iīve been to the Leica Card meeting in Solms and they told us Leica want to switch their ADP System to SAP R3 in the next weeks. All companies I know are for the time of implementation this system out of order. The other point is, that they think to have a better planning base for production and distribution with SAP R3 like now!!!??? Letīs see what happens in the future. regards Hans-Ferdinand HFHUBER@t-online.de
