Uh, or a $65 Vivitar. [1]
Or if you're allergic to autoflash and really insist on fiddling with dials
and flashmeters and not changing your distance from the subject, an $80
Vivitar [2] or the $65 Vivitar plus a plug-in thingie. Or, yes, if you decide
you're not allergic to autoflash and want to have essentially every possible
aperture available instead of four of the flash's choice... a $350-$400
Metz. [3]
...but you really only need to spend all the money in the world if you want
something to do the SCA-3000 dance with an R8. Not an issue with an M6.
[1] Vivitar 283. Essentially unchanged (physically and, it appears, in
price) since... when, the Seventies?
[2] Vivitar 285HV.
[3] 40MZ2/40MZ3.
