Hell if you can see it..you can shoot it! Besides why knock yourself out banging an M camera around with a flash when it's much easier to pick-up a point and shootie camera and do it all as a no brainer flash exercise! ;-) Remember guys... keep it simple, save the Leica for real picture taking. ;-) ted - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc Attinasi" <marc@attinasi.org> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2001 12:48 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica and off-camera strobe > John David Emmett wrote: > > > Maybe someone can enlighten me on this?
