"Effect" may not be quite the term to describe this look as some photographers habitually use a shutter sync speed 2 or 3 clicks below the maximum to get this with almost every shot. One reason is to deal with ambient light better in balance with the flash. A side "benefit" is that etched in look amongst the soft outer shell. Naturally with an M6 we don't have to use a shutter speed 2 or 3 clicks below maxim to achieve this effect. We can just stick with the maximum suggested speed; 1/50 and will get all such stuff we want. As a matter of fact when the Leicaflash first came out in the brochure a very pronounced version of this look was illustrated. I thought it was interesting advertising or marketing.
