peter_silvia1 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Anyone out there using the Metz 54MZ TTL with the Gary Fong Lightsphere II on a M6 TTL? Like the "look" this flash combo creates based on the recent posts by Marc and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografz Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I couldn't stand the unbalanced feel of a Metz 54MZ on the M camera, let alone one with a Lightsphere on it. Totally defeats the purpose of a M IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin m. Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Yikes! I bought the smaller Metz 32Z to work with my M6TTL, and even that's too big! The SF20 is good when you need the TTL function, but for size, nothing beats the dirt-cheap Sunpak 1600. Tape a bounce card onto it, and it works great. Buy two; they're cheap, and it's easier than changing batteries! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_silvia1 Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 Thanks for the responses. Reason I asked is that I have a New Years Day wedding and the weather will dictate shooting the groups in the church. Any suggestions regarding lighting.? I have the SF20 and an old Vivitar 283 with a sto-fen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografz Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 It matters how big the groups will be. Neither one of those flashes are going to give you enough light indoors at f/5.6 or f/8 if you need it to get a second row in focus. For that I would use the Metz (with a peanut slave if it'll take one) held by another, and the 285 in the hot shoe... or the other way around. I use the SF20 with one of Lutz's S-Fill diffusers, but I'm usually shooting wide open and dragging the shutter for candids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
