I've got a Vivitar 102 and am thrilled with it on my Leicas when I need flash. I don't have a Leica that uses TTL Flash (nor am I interested in one) and so the simplicity of the all manual flash works great with an all manual camera. My 102 would fit in a shirt pocket comfortably (if I didn't have a pocket on my bag that it fit really well.) Considering I only spent $10 on unit, I haven't any complaints about it at all. The closest unit to mine that I found right now on eBay is a Vivitar 152 current cost $9.99 (no bids yet): http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=363600820 Carpe Lumen, Michael E.
