No plastic packaging, no cork insert but there is a fabric cover for the unit and foam with holes for the stand and unit in the box.SUSAN G : hmmm. both peices came in their own small thin plastic bags. there was even one on the filter covers and the flash stand. No cork visible anywhere. Are you sure you don't want to know something that i don't understand from the question(s)?

Shopper : Is this compatible with my M9 & M 240 in TTL and TTL HSS? Thank you, Glen ConversePAULINA C : No! My camera is Leica V-Lux 4 and this flash is not for this camera. Do you have something for this camera? Thank's!MONICA L : Definitely yes on the M9 but haven't received the M240 to try it on. Most likely it will be fine with the M240.LANCE M : My experience is with the M9 and yes it is compatible. ISO is sent from the camera to the flash. Set the flash to automatic and simply match the f=stop on the lens to the f-stop setting on the M9 and your in business!

A Flash for all Systems

After careful consideration, I purchased the SF-58 flash. I needed a flash for both my M and R cameras, and this one is compatible with them and also the S series of cameras. Yes, it is more money than most on-camera flashes, but it's compatibility and full functions and features make it a worthwhile investment.

Though there are lots of comments about its size on the web, i find it smaller than my SB900 flash gun. It makes filled flash on my M8 a breeze. I should have bought this right from the beginning. Power consumption is reasonable. This flash is a must for all Leica M users who wish to use filled or

The LEICA SF 58 is a powerful and versatile flash unit that is perfectly adapted to the Leica M, R and S systems. Whether you employ its sensitive control options to carefully lighten up a subject, its innovative reflector technology to diversify the lighting and capture movement, or its full capacity to turn the dead of night into living day, is up to you and your creative incentives. Thanks to ample power reserves, extreme speed, comprehensive features and simple handling, the LEICA SF 58 is cut out for any challenge - and, thanks to its integrated USB port, the firmware always remains up to date.

While the main reflector is responsible for the indirect flash, the secondary reflector can be used to lighten up the darks and generate brilliant results. The extra light can be adjusted in three steps and adapted to the subject.

The LEICA SF 58 boasts a tilt reflector with a broad adjustable range. It enables you to bounce the flash off a roof or wall and avoid harsh shadows and reflections. This form of indirect lighting is good news for portrait photographers, as the reflector will tilt up to 7 degrees vertically, facilitating fantastic close-up shots.

Thanks to a spacious, back-lit LC-Display and a well-structured menu, the LEICA SF 58 is very easy to operate. All flash functions are effortlessly adjusted using all but four keys. Depending on the camera type and mode, the LEICA SF 58 will automatically register the focal length, aperture and ISO and display the information on its screen, simultaneously calculating the maximum range at maximum flash power. Successful exposures are optionally confirmed with a beep.

The LEICA SF 58 sports an integrated USB port for firmware updating, making this flash an investment with a bright future.

The optionally available diffuser can be used to create an exceptionally soft lighting effect, covering focal lengths down to 16 mm - great for portrait photography. The integrated wideangle diffuser disc illuminates the angle of an 18 mm lens.
