Leica SF 20 flash

[snapx3]

Hello guys,

I have a question regarding this flash. I understand there are three apertures to choose from under 'A' mode. Does that mean that when I want to shoot at F2.8, I'll just set it at F2.8?

I'm using a M6 with a small Olympus FL 20. Always shoot at F8 at 1/50.

So I wonder if the SF 20 would offer me a bit more flexibility by allowing different apertures.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

Yes. i think you have a choice of f2.8, f5.6 and i think f11

you can download the pdf file here: http://www.francescofragomeni.com/storage/Leica SF-20 User Manual.pdf

to use "A", set the aprture you like on the flash, then set the corresponding aperture on your camera. then shoot...

caveat:

1. set your iso accordingly
2. make sure you are within the shooting distance

Thanks for the reply.
So if I shoot TTL, I don't have to manually set the aperture on the flash right?
And it will always shoot at 1/50 (sync speed)?

yes..

You can shoot at larger or smaller aperture with any flash as long as you can adjust the flash output.
