I searched at Eaby and found a flash bracket with a ballhead that allows the flash, once attached to be tilted. However, instead of attaching the flash on the bracket I attached the 24mm viewfinder there and adjusted to be parallel to the camera body. Then I attach the flash to the hotshoe. Voila !!!! I can have both the TTL flash as well as framing with the 24 wide. - --- "Robert G.
