LEICA SF 60 FLASH

Leica System Flash SF 60

• High output guide number 60 (ISO100 200mm)
• Focal length range covering 24-200mm (16mm with built-in diffuser)
• Recycle time of just 0.1-5.5 seconds
• Built-in LED light with 9 steps
• TTL and High speed sync up to 1/8000
• Flash head can be rotated 180° left and right, 90° upwards

The Leica SF 60 system flash unit is a compact powerhouse for Leica Cameras designed especially for the models of the S, SL, and M series. It is also fully compatible with the Leica Q and CL, for which it also offers TTL flash exposure control. The SF 60 is an extremely compact and powerful flash unit with an outstanding range of features, and is among the lightest and smallest of its performance class.

Despite its weight of only 300 grams and height of 98 mm, the flash unit offers a guide number of 60 at ISO 100. Its reflector can be swiveled horizontally by 180 degrees in both directions and tilted upwards by up to 90 degrees. This versatile feature of the SF 60 makes it ideal for indirect, bounced and soft flash from numerous positions and angles. Controlled by the camera, it automatically adjusts to focal lengths from 24 to 200 mm (35 mm equivalent) and also features an integrated reflector for ultra-wide-angle exposures down to 16 mm.

For photographers who also shoot video, the SF 60 offers constant LED light output adjustable in nine steps. All parameters can be set on the flash unit with two dials and on the color LED display. The SF 60 offers wireless remote control and is compatible with the Leica SF C1 remote control unit. 

Compact, powerful and a great team player

With the SF 60 and a Leica Camera, you have the ideal set-up for a wide range of photographic situations. The flash has sufficient power to cover longer distances with its zoom-reflector or for shooting with soft, indirect flash from a reflector or bounced from a wall or ceiling. 

The clip-on softbox for softer light enables flexible adaption of flash illumination to the needs of the subject. Its high-speed synchronization at shutter speeds of up to 1/8000 s with compatible cameras turns day into night – the foreground is perfectly exposed by the flash while the background remains dark, despite the ambient daylight.

TTL flash mode

TTL flash mode and high-speed sync are of course supported and, if you switch from TTL to manual flash exposure mode, all parameters set in the respective modes remain available for later use.
The individual output parameters for each flash unit can be read off from the display of the SF C1 and changed whenever required. This is particularly practical in situations where individual units are impractical to access, for example behind softboxes or at a considerable distance from the camera.
