The Metz SCA 3502 Dedicated Module will allow SCA 3002 system flashes to be fully compatible with Leica cameras. This module supports TTL and 2nd curtain sync operation (where supported by the camera and flash), and is also downward compatible with earlier SCA systems. It has been upgraded to be fully compatible with the Leica M8 Digital Camera Guide Number Control (i.e. TTL) system.
Requires optional 3000C Cord to connect to 45CL4, 60CT-4 and G16 Grip.

Comments about Metz SCA 3502 Dedicated Module for Leica:
I use this with my Leica M7, and 45 CL-4 digital handle mount flash as well as the 54 Mz-4i. Both flashes give TTL control capability with the M7. With the 54 MZ 3/4 series flashes, I can also use the command mode to have TTL control of multiple flashes. I use the 40MZ 1/2/3 flashes with the slave adapter SCA 3083 on each of the 40 MZ units to act as TTL slaves.
One extra benefit of the 54 MZ 3/4 series with the M7 is the high speed synch (HSS) capability. It's not hard to access: set the flash unit to "M" manual mode, and set your shutter speed to 1/250 or faster. You'll then be able to perform HSS flash synch. The flash unit allows different power output levels to be set, so that you can adjust your f/stop and focus distance to have the correct exposure in this manual flash mode.
As you can see, this SCA 3502 unit is a very versatile controller for the Metz system, for Leica TTL flash capable camera users (M7/ M6 TTL / R8, R9). A final note is that a lot of the capabilities of the flashes with the different Leica cameras (M and R) are outlined in the little manual that comes with the SCA 3502, NOT in the flash manual. I carry this little tiny booklet in the camera case, so that I can figure out things quickly.

Much less expensive that Leica's flash with the same compatibility, unfortunately, no TTL but still with great results.
