You got me. I have no answer for slow exposures. But then neither did  
the Leica I. No speeds below 1/30 sec. As far as flash goes, you could  
always use an FP flash bulb, provided you didn't mind environmental  
police nagging you to pick up used bulbs. i do recall Olympus making  
an electronic flash (possibly the 280) that emitted a series of  
overlapping pulses the duration of the shutter blind opening. But none  
of this should bother you Doug. You always shoot birds in in the  
daylight at fast shutter speeds. With a Noctilux it shouldn't bother  
anyone. Who uses flash at f1.2?

I'd even take an M8 reduced frame size on my film inspection door  
replacement back.
