Indeed,

I share your pain Robert.  All the same, I have enjoyed this little flash so
far and haven't had any trouble (that wasn't my fault).  It is much lighter
than the old Nikon SB-16 that I used to use with my FM2 and a lot easier to
pocket.  But all that is only valuable if it works!  Another box off to
Northvale I suppose!  :-(.
