[photo-3d] Flash for Realist

[Peter Davis <pd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, the old Vivitar flash I had been using with my Realist seems to have 
croaked.  I had some batteries leak a little, and now, when I put new ones 
in, the "ready" light never comes on.  This was a Vivitar SMS 40D which I 
bought used for $15, so I didn't mind cutting a groove in the foot for the 
Realist bump.

So, I'm now looking for recommendations for a replacement flash.  I'd like 
a small, lightweight one that I can fit on top of the camera, preferably 
for less than $50.  I now Ritz has some for $15 or $25, but I don't know if 
those are any good, or if they're powerful enough for taking reasonable 
indoor shots of the family, etc.

Any recommendations?  I do have the adapters to if I get one with a PC 
cord, I can actually fit it on the Realist without modifying either the 
camera or the flash.

Thanks,

-pd
