The Metz flashes will work and come in variety of sizes and power ratings.
For TTL he would need the 351 adapter. Here is their URL:

Leica's SF-20 will work as well but not as a TTL unit. One nice thing about
the SF-20 is the fact you can apply exposure compensation in the automatic
mode making subtle fill flash easy.
