The ideal flashgun for my needs is the Contax TLA 280. However, it only offers a TTL mode with some Contax body (great for my Contax G) but only Manual for everything else.
I would prefer something that would work on auto (at least 2 aperture settings) so I could use the same unit across all my cameras.
The TLA360 offers Auto, but it's not nearly as compact as the 280.
What I like in the TLA280 is:
-small form factor
-double flash heads for fill/bounce set-ups
-bounce feature
- 28mm coverage
Is there anything from Vivitar, Sunpack, Metz that offers ALL these features in one package?

Metz had several SCA flashes with dual reflector, A mode and 28mm coverage. None quite as small (and low power), though, and Contax adapters are becoming rare.

I looked at the Metz, but for the size I need, only the two automatic units would work 20 C and 36C, and neithre one has double flash reflectors like the 280.
I was hoping to get a recommendation for some older unit that might not be on my radar screen. I've looked at the new units available on B&H and Adorama, but did not see anything there.
