Can anybody advise on a suitable flashgun that would work with my IIIG via sync cord?
I have a Lotus 25 THC with both a green and red line auto settings, that are raher haphazard in their flash accuracy in spite of the subject distance being well within their curves. Ideally there would be a gun that sits a little higher than the lotus - though not as big as the venerable Vivitar 283.
Your thoughts & experience would be most welcome.
Thanks

I use both Vivitar 283's and 285's with the CTOOM flash bracket on all of my IIIf's and M3's

Vivitar a flash too far

Much appreciate your feedback.
But I am loking for something a little less obtrusive.
Maybe there is nothing available that could still be in working order.
Other thoughts would be much appreciated.

The problem here is that smaller units will have a lower flash output. If you need plenty of flash power you will pretty much have to go with a mid to larger flash such as what I mentioned.
One flash I have used in close quarters with good results is a Vivitar auto 252. It's small and can be used on cameras with or without hot shoe since it has a built-in cord.
