  1. This is just my personal opinion on a new Metz 58. Got my hands on it

    yestreday and I got to tell you that the build quality feels cheap compared to

    my Canon 580.

    Controls in the back is just four push buttons and takes longer to switch from

    one

    mode to another. For example to change EV in TTL or A mode it took 5 clicks to

    just get to the EV screen.

    As you probably know Metz 58 can work as "master" and "slave"with Canon

    flashes. So I set up Metz as "slave" and Canon 580 as "master". It seems to

    work fine. But, to change the mode to "slave" B took 8 or 9 clicks.

    I also did a comparison of Metz in "TTL", "A" and Canon in "TTL" and the

    result was that with Metz I compensated to +1 (inboth TTL & A mode) and Canon

    +1 1/3 to get the correct exposure.

    I only tested the flash indoors.

     

    The biggest drawbacks is for me is the build quality and time to change the

    flash to different modes.

     

    I will stick with two Canon 580 flashes.

  2. Thank you all. THis website I did it on my own. I can take your suggestions and change the pix on the front page. But, I can't do much else. Like "flash, the 'click to activate' message appears" and I have no idea how to add a botton for music on/off. I can totally take out the music.

     

    I really appreciate all of your inputs.
