DAMN!!! The Metz version bounces while on the shoe? Leave it to
Leica...:-(...I can, of course, do anything with the SC17 cord, but with a
swivel head it would be possible to use the damn thing to bounce while on A
mounted on a plain vanilla M6.....And I'll be the Metz badged unit was the
same price or cheaper than the one with the damn red dot....

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.
