Leica RF cameras have had flash synch for a loong time. I agree that they excel in available light photography, but I do not agree that they are *made for* that. Rather, I think they are made to be excellent general purpose cameras. Of course, this is all just opinion. However, the recent addition of TTL flash makes me think that Leica at least sees the RF as a viable if not strong flash photo platform as well. > > Indeed, there will be times too when even with a Leica M, one may need to > freeze action which available light, non-flash won't do. I could not agree more! I guess I take exception with the 'available light only' line of reasoning because I find the Leica RF cameras excellent for flash photo, and I don't even have a TTL version. In fact, my SLR is mostly just for tele and macro work anymore. Thanks, - - marc - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
