Specialist Note "The SF58 is a beast of a flash that manages to feel surprisingly balanced even on a Leica M body. What truly sets it apart is the secondary fill-light; it solves the age-old problem of flat-looking bounced portraits by adding just enough direct light to make the eyes sparkle. This specific unit (S/N: 065665) was manufactured in Germany, reflecting the top-tier build quality that Leica users expect. It is one of the most powerful lighting tools available for the Leica system, capable of overpowering the midday sun or illuminating large interior halls with ease."
