Glad my whimsy could help. Yes, that's the inside of a microwave. At the time, it was the best light box I could come up with. I'm always asked the microwave question.
Incidentally, I also do own a Nikon SB-15, which was my first external flash. It's a good unit and more flexible than the Metz as it's a flop & tilt unit, but being a 4 AA cell, it's considerably larger. The Metz C2 can be called pocketable. While one could argue that an SB-15 would fit in certain pockets, it has enough size and mass it doesn't count as "pocketable" to me. For easy carry, the Metz wins every time for me.
