But also, Vivitar makes tiny ones. I think Harvey uses a 7000 series little one. I am not too familiar with any but the 283/285, but you could look it up. My one serious complaint with the 283/5s is that their are gaps in the flash apertures. I have used a Nikon SB-24 successfully on an M and it is smart enough to let you set any F/stop in 1/3 stop setting in automatic mode. the new SB-28 is even small and lighter. Might be perfect. Metz also makes a handle mount converter for the Mz30/40 that I think lets you mount on side of camera but then quickly release for off camera work. Might be ideal, too. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
