Flash SF-20

For the first time Leica is offering an electronic flash unit specially designed for LEICA Cameras. The compact and lightweight LEICA SF20 allows TTL-flash exposure control with the LEICA M6 TTL-models as well as the LEICA R8 plus automatic flash exposure control with all other LEICA M and R cameras with central X hot-shoe contact. All neccessary information such as film speed, aperture and distance is available in the LCD which can be illuminated on demand. Thanks to the two longlife Lithium batteries CR 123 a very compact design, fast recharging times, and a high number of flashes could be realised. In the TTL- and A-modes the flash indicator in the viewfinders of the LEICA M6 TTL-models and the LEICA R8 enables the photographer to check the correct flash exposure immediately. Leica photographers‘ creative ambitions are satisfied by the option to utilize the flash exposure compensation feature. In the TTL- and A-modes corrections of +/- 3 EV and 0 to -3 EV respectively are possible.

Universal Polarizing Filter

Other than in an SLR, where the user sees his subject looking through the lens, the effect of a polarizing filter cannot be judged in the viewfinder of a rangefinder camera. Nevertheless, many users of rangefinder cameras would like to benefit from the photographic advantages of a polarizing filter, such as higher color saturation and reduction of reflections at non-metallic surfaces. A very easy-to-handle universal polarizing filter solves this problem for LEICA M-photographers. A hinge allows it to be swung exactly 180° over the viewfinder for composition and setting, and back again over the lens for metering and shooting. The two special adapters (threaded rings) for the filter sizes E 39 and E 46 delivered with the filter enable the use of the majority of the present interchangeable lenses for the LEICA M6-models; others for earlier lenses are also available. The new universal polarizing filter replaces the former polarizing filter A42.
