I soon wished that I would have gotten the 3 over the 2 after I got it.
The features on the 2 are limiting and it feels like a striped down
model. The three is compleatly equipped and I' M sure a joy therefore to use.
My 2 soon seemed too big for my M6 however and the 3 is defiantly bigger
than the 2.
I've only recently seen on the Metz site smaller options such as the
SF20 which fit my occasional use criteria and you can I think keep in a
lens compartment of your camera bag for no light not too far away must
get situations. And here again without a cord red eye will present
itself especially when shooting opossums and German Sheppard getting
into the trash at midnight. Get a cord or red eye retouch pen or tell them:
"Hey, its a picture of your retina, enjoy it!" or
"This is a picture of my son, and this is a picture of my pod son!"
