Too big for the M series. Not nice. They should have just made a tilt head on the SF 24D. Like one of the Contax flashes.

Cheers,

They should hire Apple designers.

Isn't this a Metz flash body packaged with a Leica badge?

Buying a Metz AF-58 with the correct adapter should be it same as the new flash units.
