arnabdas Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 <p>I really need to pick up the lightest/smallest possible flash that has manual/variable power output (low GN is fine), a tough call I know :)<br>I do not know current options in the market.. Any insights appreciated!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georg_s1 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 <p>Arnab,<br> the flashes below are rather small models with variable power output. I've never used the Nikon, but the Leica is a great little flash. I've used the (now discontinued and replaced by the SF-24D) SF-20 once with a big shoot-through-umbrella and the tiny strobe saved my day.<br> - Nikon SB-30 (58.5 x 83.5 x 36 mm and 92 g without CR-123a-batterie) - 3 manual power settings (full, 1/8, 1/32 - additional +-1/2-stop flash level output compensation ), slave function, wide-angle-diffusor<br> - Leica SF-20 (66 x 109 x 40 mm and 180 g without the 2 CR123a batteries) - 4 manual power settings (full, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8)</p> <p>Hope this helps, georg</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnabdas Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 <p>Thanks Alex/Starvy/Georg.<br> I should close the loop here -- after a lot of research into current options I settled for Sunpak PF20XD which is unique in its class.<br> I also picked up the Metz 15 MS-1 wireless TTL ringflas and am very happy with it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
