You might want to have some useful info from <A HREF="http://www.metz.de/en/photo_electronics/" TARGET="_blank">Metz website</A> itself. Personally I find that their flash-units very reliable and problem-free.<P>

SO far I've been advised (by different people) to get a

SCA 3402

SCA 3401

SCA 346/2AF

 

Would any of these work? If so I'd be tempted to get a 3402 and a 346/2AF as a backup since it can be picked up for a song, and I already have the sca 300a cable.

I did some research for you <A HREF="http://www.metz.de/en/photo_electronics/adapter.143.html" TARGET="_blank">here</A> (just fill in the camera type, camera manufacturer, model and finally the type of flash gun) - and it came out that the SCA 3402 is the right one for the Fuji S2. But since they don't state any CT-3 or CT-4 models (just 45 CL-4 or 60 CT-4), it says you have to use the connection cable SCA 3000C. So, it's not the one SCA 300A you mentioned. You better drop them a line to know if the other SCAs plus the SCA 300A you mentioned would work with the Fuji. Good luck.<P>

Lets hear it for Metz customer support. I asked and got a response in less than 24 hours. The text follows.

 

 

Dear Mr.

of course, for the connection of your 45 CT-4 to a Fuji S2 ( ~ Nikon

F80) the adapter SCA346/2AF with cable SCA300A can be used as well. The

combination as mentioned above makes possible the flash features as

following:

- Flash readiness on camera

- Correct exposure light on camera

- Automatic flash sync speed

- TTL flash control

- Fill-in flash control

- Auto flash mode

- 2nd curtain sync

- AF assist beam control

- Automatic flash programmes

But, when using another adapter SCA3402 with cable SCA3000C as

recommended under "SCA adapter" and "ARCHIVE with further..." on

ww.metz.de also "flash compensation" also is possible.
