The TTL flash works quite accurately on Pentax LX - the only problem is the low synch speed, which is the same that Leica M6 TTL has. TTL flash gives more freedom in F-stop selection, limited by the synch speed. In this way it is simpler than non-TTL automatic flash. I´m not much tempted by the M6 TTL because I´m quite satisfied my 15 year old non-TTL M6 and because I have bought a very second-hand Osram flash (for about $15) which is small and light and gives for 100 ISO film an aperture of 2.8 which balances nicely with existing light indoors. If I need more power I use the Vivitar 283 at the same aperture. With TTL I could use other apertures, too - but that´s not very important. All the best!
