Victor,

I'll respond to your question #1 on small compact 
flashes. I have one of the Metz 20 BC-6's that you 
mentioned. In fact, it was a purchase from another 
LUGger. It's nice and compact, but suffers from 
being short. You will get redeye quite often if your 
subjects are people.  Another option is the Leica 
SF-20, which is taller and less prone to this problem. 
Its drawbacks are that it is expensive for such a 
small unit, and it uses expensive lithium batteries to 
boot. But once you get over this hurdle, you will like it 
very much.

Best Regards,

John Gong
