Takes two AA batteries, 2 Auto settings... I think f11 and f5.6 at 400 ASA... can also be powered with an optional AC cord if you want to use it off camera, hook a slave to the pc cord and voila! I use a couple of them to rig a "studio set-up" with no hassle! Can be had for about $15-25; they're around (I have three of them) don't get the 253, doesn't have the pc cord. Measures about 3 1/4" tall, a little under 1 1/4" wide, 3" deep. Oooopss, jusr re-read your post- this is verticaly oriented-damn! Provides good coverage though.... regards, Bob Keene "Everybody's Pal" (but not 'everyone' is "everybody"...) >------------------------------ > >Date: Fri, 02 Jul 1999 14:22:19 -0700 >From: Jim Bauman <jbauman@earthlink.net> >Subject: [Leica] SMALL flash for M4 > >Can anyone recommend a small, almost tiny flash with a PC cord for my M4. >Something as small as the mini flash for the Pentax 110 series is about >the right size.
