I have never understood the devotion of the Oly list to OM flash. I took a
good look at the Quantum and almost bought, but someone made me an offer on
a Metz 45 that I couldn't refuse. With the Metz, I have a Nikon module for
my 8008s, an Oly module, and now a Contax module for my RTSIII.
Instead of three different flashes, one will do the job, no matter what
system I use...
