[QUOTE="Retro, post: 474655, member: 37517"] I've been wanting an SB-22 for my FE2 for a long time. I've been looking at them on eBay, and I saved a few to my saved list. The other day I was in a used camera equipment store, and he had an SB-20 there. I would have bought it, but the ISO markers fell off inside the unit. I knew I could get a mint flash, so even if he sold it to me for $20, who cares? The SB-22 was running about $50+sh on eBay, so I'd be looking at $80CAD. I just found an SB-20 for $24 + $15 shipping, so I bought it. After looking at the SB-20 in the store I decided that I liked it and it would be a good choice for me. I like the rolling light better than the light on the 22. Seems more versatile, and I won't need a slip on diffuser. I'm used to the idea of having a 'main' flash, being the fully loaded SB-800 type of thing, and a back up, or pocket flash, for when your main flash fails (you drop it), or you want something that will fit in a jacket pocket where you're willing to sacrifice the bells and whistles just to have a flash that does the job. So if the SB-20 is my main flash, what should my 'pocket' flash be? I would be interested in going with an F5 era flash if it made sense to do so. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
