Flash for Voigtlander Bessa R

[morganoh]

Can any guy please recommend me a Flash for the Voigtlander Bessa R?

Does Metz produce any flash that are small and meant for viewfinder?

That has a build in sensor (able to operate in Auto mode) which allow me to set the viewfinder in a particular aperture and shutter, n let the flash do its "magic/job" ?

Thank you

I am looking at any flash around $100-$150, which is small enough for me to carry for my overseas trip.

Its good to have people replying to my Threat.

then i think Nikon SB30 fits ur budget and needs nicely. RRP is S$180 street price should be less than $150.

go to nikon website and have a look.

So does that means that my Canon 540EZ and Metz 54 can be used too?

But I think I need to get a smaller one like the one you recommend..

I had just check SB30's specs and it runs on CR123 Batt.

Is there any other flash that runs on AA batt cos they are cheaper and easily found in most shops overseas.

 

[kex]

i believe ur canon and metz flash can be used on ur bessa,i do not know of any small flash dat use AA,y not go to cathay and have a look there ?
As for CR123 batteries,u can buy a few and bring oversea oso can.i think u do not use flash for most of ur photography,right ?so 3 CR123 batteries should last u for quite so time.Just remember to take out the battery when not in use.

Any flash with Auto mode wll do the job.
If you like small flash, why don't you try Metz 28.
It has auto mode and very compact.
I bought mine about 2 years ago at Sim Lim Tower at $$ 50.00.
I used it on my Nikon SP.

Where did you buy this flash for $50?

There's 3 models for Metz 28, M1, C2, AF4

Which one should I get

 

[draungmah]

I do not know about other model.
Mune is Guide No 28, a very small and compact, have manual and auto setting, only one contact point. Use 3 AA battery. My price is 2 years ago, but should not vary too much as it is very simple model. look around Sim Lim Tower or Sim Lim Square.
