What is the best advice for using a metz flash with a canon 5d on the ETTL mode?

Q: Is there a little sneeky trick you can do to get the best results? (obviously other than tilting the head and upping the iso to 400.

What do you think?

A: You have to be very careful, some of the older flashguns, particularly Metz, had a very high trigger voltage of several 100's of Volts, this would blow the circuitry in the camera to pieces. So please check the trigger voltage anything above 5 Volts is suspect. You can measure it with a Voltmeter (just let the flash charge up and measure the voltage across the trigger pins that connect to the camera) or just enter the model of flash into a search engine the official trigger voltage will...

Can you please find me for sale a Metz mecamat 45-30 photography flash attachment?

I really want to buy one but there are none for sale that I can find.


A: I've checked the Metz site at - http://www.metzflash.co.uk/pages/metz22.htm
The 45-30 Bounce Card doesn't appear there so it may be discontinued.
A range of more compact alternatives are available from Lumiquest, see http://www.lumiquest.com

Will I be able to use an old Metz Flash on my digital Nikon D70 Camera? Or do I need a digital flash?

Written by Meredith Ruth | Tuesday, March 25, 2008



A: Although it may be possible, IMO you'd be better off with a Nikon flash like the SB-600. Since your camera has iTTL and the SB-600 is compatible with it, your results will be much better.

Take some time to read the section in your camera's Owner's Manual about using flash and learn how iTTL works.

Is a nikon d80 compatible with a metz 45 cl-1 flash?

Written by seany m | Monday, March 23, 2009

Hi there, i own a d80, it has a hot shoe connection and no sync cable input. I was thinking of buying a AS- 15 hotshoe adapter which will allow me to plug a sync lead in. However, i believe the d80 is i-TTL, and the metz flash is non-TTL, meaning the metz flash has to be hand calibrated for the perfect exposure.


Are these units compatible or am i going to destroy a nice camera/ flash?

A: It should work. However, unless you either already own the Metz or can get an incredible deal, I'd seriously look at a TTL flash, either by Nikon or someone else. It makes things much easier.

When I got my D-70, I also got an SB-800 Nikon flash.I don't worry about anything except the image I want.

(I remember when I used my first "auto"(non-TTL) flash. It was great. However, when I started, pros still used flash BULBS!)

Good luck!

Metz Macro Flash wins TWO awards!

Source: PhotoNews magazine Blog


Just a few days ago we were talking about the innovation of the Metz 15 MS-1 Macro flash, and here the awards reflect exactly that!

MacroAward

Metz wins in High Quality and Design categories in Cologne, Germany this year. This ring flash is unlike any other macro flash. It functions completely wireless TTL, has several functions and is completely programmable to multiple brands of DSLR.

The Plus X Awards were created to honour the innovation and forward-thinking technology each year. The 144 jury members from 32 countries say that Metz flash is the best for today and for the future, and I’m prone to agree!

Congrats Metz!
