It looks like the expert opinion from the Flexers is more valid.....
This is the answer I got from Metz.
Regars, Miha
*Dear Mr. Golobic,*
*Many thanks for your e-mail enquiry of 07. Jan. 2009.*
*The mentioned flash unit mecablitz 32 MZ-3 also can be used in connection
with the camera Leica R3. For this we recommend to equip the flash unit with
the centre contact foot 301. The adapter SCA 3102 can't be used with the
afore-mentioned camera. With this adapter the flash unit can't be triggered.
*
*We hope we could be in assistance to you and remain
with best regards*
