This makes the 40 MZ-3 siginificantly heavier (56%) and larger (46%) than the 32 Z-2. Assuming my TTL's RF problem is due to the weight of the Metz flash, the lighter 32 Z-2 should pose less of a problem. However, if the RF misalignment is due to the tightening force of the flash foot securing knob, then the weight of the flash will be of less significance.
