I’m not surprised. If you can’t get the latest get the last version. Can’t get the last version get the 2nd last version, etc. etc.

Not sure why that flash is so much. Very limited supply and very high demand?

Yeah it’s not easy to find in the USA. It’s small and perfect for this camera. I bought one recently in Chile for the equivalent of $200 knowing I can sell it for a lot more. Unfortunately, I like it. Works on my gfx too.

It's an ok flash that can burn thru batteries especially if you don't buy something like the Panasonic Eneloop batteries and it can take a while to charge when turned on but these prices are out of hand. A larger and much more powerful used Nissin i40 is about 1/3 the price.

I don’t disagree.  It’s tiny though… and that means something to some people.  I’m not a huge flash guy.
