Leica SF 58 Flash
Beyond Darkness

by KEN BROWNE

When you realise that a flash unit can do more than just help you take pictures in the dark, you will discover in the LEICA SF 58 a creative light with vast potential - enabling you to achieve anything from subtle fill-in and indirect flash light using the tilt reflector, to decoupled flash operation in slave mode

THE FLASH is designed specifically for the Leica system camera and, as such, enables you to concentrate fully on the subject whilst leaving the exposure up to the camera.

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.
