edward_giarusso Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 I shot two jobs this past week with my new set up of SCA 356 & 305 TTL connector on my Rollei 6003. Worked well on first job (got the film back) and seemed to work well with second. I noticed you could not connect all three leads to the 305 (top and left only) as the 356 blocks the right hand connector. Has anybody got a workaround to this problem? Also, I noticed when repacking my gear at home one of the Metz 45 CL4s would not test fire with distinctive "pop" and the ready light would come on right after the flash. Thus the unit was not fully flashing. I would still expect the job to come out, as Rollei is fill flash. Any information would be appreciated.

siu_fai_au1 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 I think you should be able to use the other connector if you put an extension cord between the 356 and the 305. If I remmember correctly the number of the cord is 307. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bashir_lunat Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 hi,while you answer Edward's question ,I would like to ask if metz adapter/connector C70 is similar to CSA 356 and will it go with my CT45 which is a twinhead. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwstutterheim Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Hmmm, what is a 305 TTL connector? I use a SCA 356, a SCA 300A connector cable and a Metz 45 CL 4. No loose ends and everything works fine. Ferdi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwstutterheim Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 The Metz C70 is older than the SCA 356. According to my Rolleiflex 2,8 GX manual that camera and the C70 work with the Metz 45 CT5 and 60 CT2. The C70 was Metz only and was replaced by the more or less universal SCA system. Ferdi.

edward_giarusso Posted December 26, 2003 Author Share Posted December 26, 2003 Ferdi, an SCA 305A is a TTL multi-connector adapter for use with all Metz 45 TTL modules. It slips on to the top of the SCA 356 and provides two connections for the SCA 305 V5 TTL multi-connector 39 inch cables. These cables then connect to Mets Flashes. The top of the SCA 305A accepts the SCA 300A connector cable which then connects to a third camera mounted Flash. What we end up with is a Rollei connected to three TTL flashes. I understand many wedding photographers use the wireless system to accomplish the same but as I never planned to do weddings I got this set up. Now it looks like I may do some weddings. I trust this helps answer your questions and I hope some smart person out there will answer mine? Ed G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
