RE: [Leica] Flash for M6

["Kotsinadelis, Peter (Peter)" <peterk@lucent.com>]

Hi Buzz,
 
You're right there are some made outside of Europe, but they still ask
European prices.
 
All Metz 34 (Leica SF20 equivalent, but only available from Leica with
dedicated shoe for M6 TTL) 40, 45, 50, 60-series flashes are Made In
Germany.
 
The Metz 20 and 32-series are made in Japan
The Metz 28 series made from Chinese and Japanese parts but assembled in
Hong Kong

I don't have mine here with me, but aren't at least some of the Metz flashes
Asian made though European marketed?

	Personally, I like the Vivitar 2800 is you are looking for
compactness. 
Small, light, and cheap$. 
GN is 80 (or 24 metrically).  If you need more power, the 283 is a better 
choice, slightly larger GN is 120 (or 36 in meters).  A metz is an equally, 
perhaps better choice in some folks opinions, but they are a bit more 
pricey, and of course they are European made like the Leica.

	Hi LUGgers, 

	I'm looking for a Flash for my m6 (non-TTL version). 
Some people told me to buy the Metz 20BC-6, others the 28C-2. 
Could someone give me a little advice? 

	Best regards, 

	Simon. 
Lille France.
