So....We've already figured out that the new flash system won't be any good?
Well, that should make all those people happy who believe that using flash
with an M is akin to turning a Hells Angels chapter loose in a convent.;-)

I'm reading a lot of posts regarding speculating the
M7's flash capability.
The general speculation is that it is going to retain
the horizontal cloth shutter and its going to be TTL
reading OTF. However, the point of all this is that
all films are different. The reflective reading from
different film can be as much as 2 stop difference.
This is especially the case between reversal slide and
color film.
For example, Hasselblad's TTL even noted in their
dedicated Proflash listing the actual film speed
setting for different films, which is different from
the film-speed setting for their prism meter.
