Thanks, I appreciate it. > >Dave Fisher >Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Dave, I bought last December a very small flash that is said to be ideal with M cameras (dixit Hanson Photography in N.Y.). The flash is a METZ (not a bad name as you can see!) model is a Mecablitz # 20-BC-6 made in Germany of course. I am not fond of flash but this one is just right for the kind of use I may have. It is pocketable (very small) and the least expensive Metz on the market. I paid US$49. plus shipping for it. In December, it was not available in Canada. I had to order it from B&H in New York. They had it in stock. The other plus with this flash is its design. It has won a German Best Design Award last year. Great look on an M camera (I have an M4P). And of course it is a lot cheaper than the one Leica has just introduced. Regards, Jacques Leonard =============== j.leonarddesigner@videotron.ca
