Interesting. So it is not as robust, but with the metal replacement
feet it would be next to Olympus quality, but far cheaper?
I have a leaning towards the Metz, because (1) Quantums are more than
I need, (2) cheaper than Olympus at a higher power and quality, (3) I
can more or less rely on TTL until I learn to use flash properly, (4)
I value robustness because getting replacements and service down here
can be troublesome.
