Digital Cameras Ratings: Metz mecablitz 58 AF-1 digital Pentax Review

Average Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)Very nice flash, has some really nice features.Just starting to play with the strobe feature.
As of yet have not played with the fill flash feature.

I only have one issue with such a expensive flash. No dumb slave mode.Very strange the
unit works great as a smart slave against my Pentax, but does not support just a dumb
slave flash.Had to go out at by a slave trigger, then works great.
Only down side.

On the whole I would give this a 4.5 to 5 out of 5.

Product Description:
Sleek in appearance, throws light in the areas where you need it, self-explanatory and extremely powerful. Created by on of the leading industry designers in Germany. Equipped with innovative developments, the Metz mecablitz 58 AF-1 digital offers cutting edge secondary reflector technology, high-performance energy management, the latest generation of multi-zone AF measurement flash, a reflector system fully capable of swiveling, current special functions, USB interface for updating software via the Internet and much more. Due to its high GN of 191 (ft.) at ISO 100/21 and 105 mm focal length, the 58 AF-1 digital is not only especially powerful but also can be used for indirect flash lighting to great effect. For the first time Metz integrated a reflector card that can be flipped open into its vertically tilting and horizontally swiveling reflector. In addition the "Bounce diffuser 54-23" is available as an optional accessory. Using the integrated secondary reflector, additional brilliance can be achieved with this flash technology in close-up areas. The high-performance power pack P 76 (purchased separately) can also be used with the 58 AF-1 digital, for clearly increased flash output and reduced flash recycle time. This flash power is available for all types of use in connection with e V 58 cable.
