Leica SF 60 Reviews
It's perfect

I bought this for my Q2 and it was a breeze. I didn't even read the manual. It never misfired or failed to fire. It came with the stofen and was exactly what I needed. I have shot canon for many years and felt this was more user friendly than the 600ex-rt series I use regularly.
Didnât work out of the box.

Leica needs to improve their quality control for the exorbitant price they charge. Ridiculous. Didnât work out of the box. The m11 and SL3 had major quality issues too. Get it together!

Can this flash be handheld, connected to the camera hot shoe by a cable? If so, what cable?
Asked by: Jackson
The Leica SF 60 Flash (B&H# LESF60) may be used in manual (i.e., non-TTL) mode with many products called "TTL cables" such as the Vello Off-Camera TTL Flash Cord for Nikon Cameras (3') (B&H# VEOCSNK3) when connected to models of cameras possessing fully functional hot shoes.

No. None of the Leica flashes are compatible with the V-Lux. You will need to explore flashes made from Panasonic or versions of Metz flashes that are concurrently compatible with Panasonic/Olympus/Leica cameras.
