BLARP?!
I'm thinking about getting a flash for my Xpan II, but I haven't researched yet which flash devices are compatible. I thought I'd start here and ask all of you XPan geniuses.
In this recession, saving $$ is of primary concern, but I don't like buying crap. So if you have any suggestions for diamonds in the rough, I'm very interested in seeing one. New or used, it doesn't really matter to me. I'm not looking for sources, I'm looking for make and model.
I would use the flash for indoor photography, fill-flash outdoors, and just to have in my gear at arms-reach.
P.S. Woo hoo! My 2007 post has resurfaced! Somebody must have taken the poll. Ah, the memories.
5 people answered Blarp?! Really??? Whoever you all were, we should go see Star Trek when it releases. Anyway, it just so happens that the leading response is the one that actually happened! er... I took my clothes too, and they didn't weigh my undoubtedly heavy stuff, there was an unexpected surplus of space on the tiny plane. We survived, I'm still alive and posting.
P.P.S. If anyone has a preferred slide processor in San Francisco, let me know and I'll go check 'em out. I have my own scanner and printer, but need a processor. Currently, I'm mailing them down to Hollywood at about $8/roll.

Not for labs. But as far as flashes go, the Metz 40MZ series might be your best bet, unless you want to create a self-built ultrawide diffusor (not easy, as this will need fresnel optics) or start shopping for a used flash complete with a matching push-on diffusor (rare, as these have usually been lost or separated from the flash). At any rate I am not aware of other similarily widespread flashes with a built-in diffusor down to 20mm (which should cover the wider strip of the xpan 30mm to at least 90% width).
