Comment: this makes a great, powerful, bounce-capable flash for daylight fill. With the M digital series, you can either use A mode (and both heads) or M-GNC mode, which uses only the main head. With the M8/9, TTL flash exposure is conservative (i.e., it won't let you blow things out, and it does not exposure-compensate; use A mode if you want to flash-bracket, which this flash can coordinate automatically). I don't know what the difference between the MZ-3 and MZ-4 is; they're pretty much identical for use on Leicas. Paypal ok. NO ARCHIVE
