I have never been a flash freak, I don't like that. I might have a flash somewhere, but I never use it. M-Leicas are so convenient in available light, and I like simplicity. Fortunately nobody ask, or push me into flash and artificial light photography. I want to make my own choice as well... I sometimes use the built-in flash with the Contaxes (TVS&T2), but then everything is automatic, and the result is about predictable. I don't know how much you want to pay for such a repair, neither how much it will cost, but I have frightening experiences with Leica repairs. I wouldn't care too much if it works with the sync cord, and if you just use the flash every now and then. Oddmund
