Lumix FZ20 Flash Suggestions

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital.zlr (More info?)

Is there a good, strong, versatile external flash that works well with the
FZ20? Something along the lines of a Vivitar 285 or Metz 44MZ is what I have
in mind--the full-swiveling head of the Metz is what makes it attractive to
me. Price is not an object, size--the smaller the better--is.

Thank you,
Jim
