It's marked for the R8 but of course it works fine on the M6TTL. If you really need a powerful flash IMHO it's better than the Metz hammerheads because of things like the ability to go bare bulb, which is the way to go if you want on camera flash which actually looks reasonably flattering. It's great for weddings, functions and other professional uses but probably overkill otherwise and it's awfully top heavy on an M. The last time I looked, the price for the basic T2 with Turbo battery is around $6-700 ish. Simon Stevens
