When I balance photographic light with a flask, I find that I really don't care what the resulting photos look like. I'm too busy trying not to dance on the tables with a lampshade on my head. ;-) Lagavulin or Dalmore is great stuff!

" Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. UPDATED 5-30-01: http://www.jayburleson.com/ George Kase asked: "Can someone recommend a simple and lightweight flash for my M6 classic...I want to shoot some interior figure stuff. Thanks for any experience and suggestions in advance..." George, I resisted getting an SF20 flash for my M6s for a long time. I thought it looked too much like a toy. Finally, I relented and got one. I love it! While the M6 still have the 1/50 sec limitation, the TTL works great and I can balance room light with flask to avoid the "Shot in a cave" look of many flash pictures. I have never had red eye -- even with a 90mm -- with the SF20. Using the 28mm diffuser makes the photos softer so when i photograph my grandson, I leave it on. It is light and easy to carry in a pocket or case. I just got my R8 and I know I will like using it there. I still use my Vivitar when I am photographing a large group or where I need more power. But the SF20 is the one I carry with me most of the time. Try it! ...Ken Lassiter - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
