Of was it that you discovered this fact during the aborted transaction? ernie - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Herbert & Lee Kanner Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 2:05 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] SF 20 vs. Metz 32-Z2 with SCA 3502 I find it curious that, judging from the posting, more LUGers have bought the SF 20 than the Metz unit. Perhaps it isn't so curious, since the former has the Leica badge; however I read somewhere that it is really manufactured by Metz. I fell into that psychological trap, ordered the SF20 from a New York house that is notorious for misbehavior. Ordering by credit card protected me, and when a month passed without the arrival of the unit, I canceled the order. I then bought the Metz unit from the friendly neighborhood Bear Images; they did have to order the SCA from the importer, which took a few days. I am delighted that I didn't get the SF 20, because of the great frequency with which I have made use of bounce flash. The Metz has a rotating head and body; not only can I bounce off the ceiling, I can even bounce off a wall behind me if I feel like acting really weird.
