Subject: [Leica] R8 flash

Hi, I have an R8 for which I am interested in purchasing a new (to me) flash
unit.  I want one that will take advantage of all of the R8's TTL flash
capabilities.

I am thinking of purchasing a Metz 40MZ-2 with SCA 3501 adapter, but have a
few questions for anyone knowledgeable.

1.  What is the difference between a Metz 40MZ-2 and the newer MZ-3 or MZ-3i
models?

2.  Will a 40MZ-2 with SCA 3501 adapter take full advantage of the R8's TTL
flash capabilities?

3.  Is there any other unit to consider?  I am on a budget and cannot afford
to pay more than about $200.

4.  Does anyone have an MZ40-2 or 3 they want to sell cheap?

Thanks,
