Hello Karen,
I am in love with my R6 too, having acquired one recently from a friend who
had inherited it from his late father.
The R6 belongs to a different era when the SCA system was still analog (the
SCA 300 series). Thus, like the R5, RE and R7, the R6 is compatible with
the Metz SCA 351 series.
The R8/9, M6 TTL and M7 feature the digital version of the SCA system (SCA
3501 and 3502, i.e. The 3000 series) and require a SCA 3501/3502 compatible
flash for TTL operation.
The Leica SF20 has SCA 3501 built in (not SCA 351) and thus will not work
with your R6 in TTL flash mode. You can still use it in A and M modes
however.
Hope this helps.....
Regards,
Joseph
