Thanks anyway. >If there is a closet flash-user out there feel free to reply off list. :^) I'm not certain that the sarcasm is appropriate, Bob. You asked a question and not one of the List members felt like responding. So what? That doesn't mean that the question was inappropriate nore does it mean that the other folks on the List are being snobbish or dismissive in not responding - -- maybe we were all just busy on other projects. To get to your question, though -- any flash gear will work. I have strobe flashes ranging from a Metz 45CL-4 down to a couple of minimalist pocket flashes, and I use them as appropriate. I do carry a Vivitar 283 about with me in my Leica bag, as this is probably the most versatile reasonably-sized flash. Heck, I've even got a couple of Leitz bulb flashes - -- CEYOO and Chicos -- which I have used in fits of purist passion. (Of course, a REAL Leica purist would only use Braun electronic flashes, as Leitz and Braun spent 12 or 15 years coöperating closely on the development of what we know now as the plain-Jane flash.) Just use whatever flash gear is at hand, and take pictures.
