I must admit to having dozed off, because at the time I wasn't in the market. Now, however, a local supply house has a Metz 40MZ2 offered among its used equipment, and I recall that this model had been mentioned by a couple of contributors. I especially like bounce/swivel capability along with an apparent ergonomic advantage on an M body over, say, a Vivtar 283. Unfortunately, the example in question has no documentation with it, and the staff is unfamiliar with its manner of operation. What modules would I need to acquire to use this flash with a non-hot shoed (hot shod?) M and with an R4? Are there any other accessories whose acquisition I should consider? Roy Written by: Roy C.
