[Leica] OT question: can't fire flash on Fuji X E1 when using LM 3rd party adapter

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&ECummer)]

Jeff,
Perhaps you have silent mode turned off. As Jim mentioned with silent mode 
on the flash won't work with any lenses - fuji or otherwise.
Go to Set up menu - page one and turn silent mode off. That should blacken 
the flash mode on page 5 of the shooting menu and then you
can experiment with forced flash, slow synchro and 2nd curtain sync and see 
what works best. I expect forced flash will be the most likely to work.
I set flash compensation to -1 to reduce the amount of light and make the 
picture more natural - on those very rare times (Uncle Ted!!) when I use 
flash.
Let's hear how you make out.
Cheers
Howard

I am using a 35mm voigtlander lens on a Fuji X-E1 and I cannot get the fash 
to work. In the menu the flash option is grayed out and I cannot select the 
option to force fire the flash. I am using a third party adapter. Has anyone 
managed to get the flash to work with third party LM adapters? I can't get a 
hot shoe mounted flash to fire either. Please don't suggest I read the 
manual.. it has nothing useful to help solve this problem!
?
Thanks in advance for anyhelp from the Leica lenses on X-E1 or X-Pro1 
crowd.. you know who you are :-)

Amities
