        Reviewed options on BH web site and always check out product reviews[...]This flash works wonderfully with my new GF1 greatly improving the flashquality. Small, light weight and very good production. I have nothing wrong with this product and would strongly recommend it to others who might be buying a GF1 or other 4/3 cameras.

          Comments about Leica CF-22 Compact Electronic Flash Unit:

          This flash is great! Since the built in flash in the camera is never adequate, it is nice that Leica has made available this shoe mount optional flash. As usual with Leica, the attention to detail is excellent, even down to the clever locking mechanism to lock it to the hot shoe. The only downside is the price, but that's because it is a Leica.

          [...] The CF22 Flash… I will discover this week- end. Shooting a rehersal and wedding. My 4 dogs kind-a find the flash annoying, but like the images. I will keep you info'd should there be problems (…excluding those I create).
