Flash for Leica T

I am looking for a flash for Leica T apart from Leica S26, any recommendation ? Did anyone try Metz or Nissin flash and whether they could be used in Leica T ?

Hello,

as Leica flashes are manufactured by Metz, they have an agreement not to produce flashes that are compatible with the "real" Leica cameras (no Panasonic derivatives). Therefor, i'd currently recommend the new SF40 or the SF64 (it is crazy big on a T...) in case you want to use TTL measuring. I have the SF26, it is okay but it does not swivel its head or rotate for vertical photos. I'll replace it as soon as the new units are available.

I gave mine back for a refund. Not happy at all with the SF-26. So fleshless now, I very rarely use flash on camera anyway.
