I hope that one day Leica will come with a Leica SF36
more like Nikon SB26 or 28.
I don't like the Metz 40 MZ3 appearance and ergonomy. 
It's like a brick and the lamp is to close from the lens.
With a R8 + 50/2 the flash is even in front of the lens !
And with a M6 + 35/2 better to grab the combo by the flash.  ;-)
