You are not about to shoot an "event" WITH a flash the size of an SF20. That's a micro twinkie light for those occasional black cats in the coal bin at midnight. I wonder how many rolls at one time someone has shot with one of these tiny flashes. I use the Metz 20 BC 6 as my tiny flash. A Mecablitz 32 Z-2 or Vivitar 283 for my medium flashes which have a system behind them so you can shoot 10 rolls at a time. But recently I got into using an all manual 200C with 4 batteries to do those 10 rolls at a time shoots which require portable flash. The head is much lighter that the 32 Z-2 or Vivitar 283 and I love the power and the bulb with round reflector. If I'm in real trouble I'll bring along my White lighting Ultra 1200 and plug it in to the wall if there is one!! Mark Rabiner
