Subject: [Leica] Flash / PC Cord Question

Kind folk,

I want to use my new little Oly S20 flash with my M6
when I have an accessory finder in the hot shoe.

So, I'm looking for a camera PC socket cord with a
female (?) flash shoe connector on the other end.

In some situations, a bracket might be preferable to holding
the flash, so any suggestions on a small bracket for the M6
that could hold the flash would be helpful as well.

I did a brief search on B&H and Adorama and was pretty
overwhelmed by all the options.

Any idea what I need?

Thanks

Scott
