I use a Minolta 132X strobe. Here are the specs: Thyristor auto or manual Guide #100 (ISO 100) Two auto settings 2' to 28' range @ f/4 (ISO 100) 2' to 14' range @ f/8 (ISO 100) Bounce head 28mm coverage with diffuser Takes 4-AA batteries Can be used with Quantum system Height with head at 90 degrees: 4.75" Weight w/batteries 11.5oz. Price: $10 at used bargain bin. I can attest to the accuracy of this little unit. It is the one I use with my M equipment. Metz may be sophisticated but I feel that only pro use would warrant such high precision and price. Joe
