Basically, I do not think RF needs to use flash unless you know exactly what effect you are trying to achieve....

Also for Leica flash SF58, the only reason to get that is for TTL. Do you really need the TTL?

Actually hor....any cheap flash that can be fired by hotshoe or connector cable will do. Even Metz flash can work

some like the shock and WTF look, others use flash at night to freeze subject and create fizzy fuzzy background... :faint:

Its a different level altogether, use it well and the impact is tremendous!

I had a sneaking suspicion that you may have had Mr. Kirk in mind when you wrote "some like the shock and WTF look" :bsmilie:

Its not a surprise to learn you're former colleagues
