Metz Flashes

Presenting the new Metz mecablitz 48 AF-1 digital – stylish and technically state-of-the art. Equipped with a USB port for firmware updates via Internet, it has shown itself to be just as innovative as its big brother the 58 AF-1 digital, which has just been singled out as “Europe's Flash Unit of the Year 2007/2008”*. Perfectly matched to digital cameras from leading manufacturers in each case, it is available in five different versions (Canon, Nikon, Olympus/Panasonic, Pentax/Samsung or Sony Alpha) – each individual one is flash-ready, due to its fully automatic flash modes. They facilitate precision light output, tailor-made for each individual subject. Numerous manual intervention options complement the photographic creative flexibility. Supported by a fully swiveling reflector system, which also has an extendible reflector card and a diffuser, almost unlimited possibilities open up for creative directed lighting. Thanks to the slave function, the 48 AF-1 digital can even be used detached from the camera. In the respective camera-specific wireless TTL mode, it can thus be used as a slave unit. It is an outstanding flash unit for committed amateur photographers.

MECABLITZ AF-54

Presenting the simple and highly functional flagship of the Metz SCA compact flash units. It is convincing due to the:

• High light output: GN of 54 at ISO 100/21° and 105 mm focal length.
• Large light angle: illumination of a focal length range of 24-105 mm.
• switch-controlled secondary reflector, with light output that can be reduced by using a grey filter.
• Ease of use: a large display ensures you always have a good overview. Only two function keys and a control dial facilitate good handling.
• Great flexibility: To begin with, the Metz 54 MZ-4i digital is available with a standard foot. Furthermore, due to the SCA system, there are many adapters available for almost any camera.
• Diversity: Via various adapters, there are also a great deal of interesting special functions such as E -TTL and E-TTL II flash mode from Canon, i-TTL from Nikon, or ADI flash control from Sony Alpha, and many more, which increase the creative flexibility.

MECABLITZ 76MZ-5

Worldwide, professional photographers put their trust in the powerful 76 MZ-5 digital from Metz. Above all at weddings and fashion shows, its ability to take fast series of shots pays off. Its secondary reflector – which makes it possible to set perfect highlights in the eye – is worth its weight in gold. It goes without saying that the camera-specific system flashmodes of the various manufacturers can also be used perfectly with this professional flash, through different SCA adapters. All menu navigation settings can be activated from the device itself, and a locking function means you won't accidentally change fixed values. Of course, the 76 MZ-5 digital keeps up with the times and provides outstanding flash convenience with a great deal of creative flexibility in setting up shots. Discriminating photographers will appreciate the lasting flash performance ensured by the NiMH rechargeable battery and the Metz charger. It offers considerably more power than the previous NiCad rechargeable battery. The control unit of the 76 MZ-5 digital is specially equipped with a large, illuminated dot matrix display. Plus, the reflector of the zoom flash unit automatically adapts to a focal length range of 24 - 105 mm depending on the type of camera. A wide-angle diffusing disk, included with the flash, enables expansion to 20 mm.
