But to be honest, I don't think limiting yourself to the Metz range is 
any limitation at all. They seem to work almost for ever, and in the 
unlikely event that they stop working, Metz seem to be prepared to repair 
models so old that they came out of the Ark with Noah.

They also - bless their cotton socks - *keep making the good no-nonsense 
stuff* like the non-dedicated versions of the 45 and 60 series 
(45CT1...now the 45CL1 but almost identical, takes all the old 
accessories, and the 60CT1).
