brandon.r.foster Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 According to them, in a word yes. Check <a href="http://www.slrtoday.com/articles/111/1/The-Metz-58-AF-1---First-Compact-Fash-Unit-with-a-USB-Socket/Page1.html">here</a> for more details. Brandon.

eric friedemann Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 As Brandon notes, Metz claims the 58 AF-1 works is fully-compatible with Nikon's wireless system. I just don't see paying $350 for a 58 AF-1 when I can get SB-800s with the same power and features I want for $315. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_skomial Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 It is about time for 3rd party vendors to catch up with the Nikon CLS technology... Earlier entries from Sigma, Metz, and Quantum, were missing some CLS features, as well as reliability, and compatibility. Anyone can give assurance that those older problems are now fixed ? Can Metz in CLS/iTTL command flashes from Quantum, Sigma, or Nikon flashes ? Can Nikon commander command Metz as remotes ? Why Metz expresses 1/125 sec as a limit ?
