Plenty of whiz and plenty of bang

"I would probably have given it more stars but I haven't really put it through rigorous testing at this time. That said, WOW, I love this flashgun. After using Nikon branded lights for many years I was a little reluctant to try a different make, but Metz has got it right. Plenty of bang is an understatement, guide no. of 190, beautiful exposures and pleasing color reproduction, the menus are different from wha..." Read Full Review »

An excellent Flash, but?

"Used for weddings, portraits, fill-in and night photography. Having used Metz flashes for many years without any problems, and having done thorough comparisons with SB800 and 900's, I am reluctant to recommend the 58AF-1N shoe mount (used on a Nikon D3)as my 8 week old and lightly used 58AF-1N's flash ready light no longer comes on and no "ready" info is displayed in the camera display. The capacitor is obviuosl..." Read Full Review »

"I've only had limited time with the Metz, but the main reason that I bought it and hope to have it replace my Nikon SB 800 flash is the secondary or wink light. I like that the power to the wink light is adjustable. The unit is light and compact for this type of flash and balances nicely on my D200. …"  Read Full Review »

"What can I say? It's a Metz. Used to use them as a pro, and they never let me down. Now just an avid hobbyist--works well with my D300 and S3.



Prefer it to my SB-800 as button/menu system seems more intuitive to me. I use the Metz as master and the SB-800 as slave. They work great together. …"  Read Full Review »

"The secondary fill-in flash of the Metz line makes them worth considering over others. Being able to tilt the main flash headtoward a white wall or ceiling and fill in the subject's eyes with a pleasing catch light(especially at drastic angles) offers the most flattering and effortless on-camera fl …"  Read Full Review »
