LeicaSF 60 Flash, Black (14625)

Let me qualify this by saying I am am amateur at best and I probably take a lot more bad photos than good ones.Having said that, I recently got the chance to purchase a Leica m240 and some old Leica glass. It’s my First Leica and my favorite camera. I haven’t even picked up my Nikon since getting the Leica.I find the Leica is great for most things outdoors and in good light but for indoor in low light, I was getting frustrated by the higher ISO and dark photos it was taking, even wide open. So, I started doing some research on flashes compatible with the Leica systems. I decided on this one because it has the ability to do off camera flash, if I ever decide to go that route. There are not any after market brands that will do TTL on Leica that I could find. So, it’s Leica or go manual. My Nikon SB-700 will fit in the hot shoe and trigger but you have to set it manually.Coming from a Nikon system, I am very happy with the results using this flash to bounce off the ceiling when indoors. ISO remains at 200 and the pictures are clear and bright. It has the ability to both tilt and swivel, making it a versatile flash for most applications and it comes with a detachable diffuser and stand if you need it. It’s a bit larger than I expected but I think it’s still the same size of not smaller than comparable Nikon and Canon speedlites.If you have a Leica capable of TTL and want to add flash photography to your kit, I strongly recommend this one. The price is a bit on the high side but I guess that goes with the territory of owning Leica. There is a slightly cheaper one called the SF 40 but I think with the added features this one has, it’s worth the extra cost.

Excellent!
