Hi
It is difficult to make a recommendation without a budget! Probably the best gun at the moment is the 360FGZ which does just about everything but it's expensive and there are few if any secondhand. The 500 FTZ is very powerful, has a motorised head but you will be very lucky if you get one for less than £150 secondhand. The 400FTZ has reasonable power and can be obtained at a sensible cost but has a manual zoom on the flash head. The 330FTZ is about the same price, has a motorized head and only slightly less power. A good target price would be about £60. If cost is a prime concern, some of the indepedant guns are very good. I recently got a Sigma EF430T for £20 (A very good bargain). It has a motorised head, a ggod power level and is compatible with all the AF functions except for some like wireless operation.
