Into the future with tradition
For decades, Metz has played a leading role in professional flash photography. Its no wonder, because the companys product range is very diverse. Ranging from handy and compact up to powerful handheld flashguns, there is just the right light for any need. The highly-developed SCA adapter system is another Metz strength. It makes it possible for Metz SCA flash units to be used on many cameras. Metz thus successfully manufactures products that stand out due to their versatility, long service life, and quality.

Excellent quality

Metz flash units operated convincingly in many tests. This is the case for light performance as well as reliability and handling. In order to maintain this quality, the Metz plants in Zirndorf near Nuremberg consistently rely on development and production in its German location. Highly-qualified personnel and our own training system, as well as the know-how from decades of development work, combined with demanding quality management (ISO 9001) in all corporate divisions guarantee that the highest demands are met: Metz always first class.

Metz Ideas have a future

Through an entire series of pioneering technical work, the Metz plants have established an excellent reputation over many decades. This is the result of core competences in the areas of electronics and plastics engineering. An entire series of innovations, such as the worlds first
integrated USB port in the mecablitz 58 AF-2 digital, mecablitz 50 AF-1 digital, mecablitz 44 AF-1 digital

Technical perfection

Decades of development experience and production in Germany ensure the high technical standard of Metz devices. The use of high-quality components in connection with the most modern high-tech SMD assembly machines ensure that you can rely on Metz products. Convincing evidence for this is the worldwide marketing of high-quality products, both in the flash sector as well as in ultramodern TV production.
and mecablitz 15 MS-1digital, or the self-learning servo mode of the mecablitz 28 CS-2 digital, are typical examples of this.

More fun better pictures
Using a flash pays off: Anyone using additional light when taking a photograph obtains better results, because in post-processing, it isnt possible to obtain missing colors or brilliance from the picture: The methods: Using a flash doesnt only mean flooding a dark subject with light; it also means handling this light in a targeted manner as well as creatively. There are very different methods available to achieve this. It starts with a direct flash of the subject with a flash unit fastened to the camera, and continues with a bounce flash, which is made possible by turning and tilting the reflector head. This way, the light can be redirected either with a special bounce diffuser or with an extendable, integrated reflector card. In addition, there are other flash methods that can be achieved through an off-camera use of the units. Adjusting the flash exposure plays a major role in the effect of a subject. In many Metz flash devices, the amount of light can be controlled variably, and thus balanced entirely according to need. In this way, a lighting mood is never lost. There is even considerable advantage in using a Metz flash in daylight. Shadowed areas or backlight can be brightened optimally in this way, and it enables pictures with undreamed-of sharpness and brilliance. In contrast to bygone eras, flashes and cameras themselves already contribute a great deal to successful exposure. These days, no flash photographer has to spend time on f-stop calculations or use various formulas. Intelligent units have now taken over most of the work. With the help of various special functions, one can concentrate on the essentials, i.e. the picture composition. That way, using a flash is really fun!

The unique special feature of Metz SCA flash units is that one and the same flash unit can be used with different cameras it doesnt matter whether they are digital or analog. By simply replacing the adapter, system cameras from different manufacturers can be used, because they offer the richest array of special functions. Flash units with SCA adapters are just as suitable for system camera owners as for medium-format camera owners. All members of the SCA family meet this criteria, whether it is a handheld flash gun or a compact flash.

A second look

Many wedding photographs are exclusively standard poses. Anyone who comes up with additional ideas here can score bonus points. Why not photograph the bridal couple or wedding guests during small talk? With some flash, the subject is given additional sharpness and brilliance. For this purpose, there are different partial light output levels to choose from with Metz handheld flash guns.

Perfectly-equipped

Tough professional use requires the maximum flash power. The new, practical, high-power Power Pack P 76, which attaches to your belt, provides even more energy. This increases flash output, while simultaneously reducing the flash recycle time. This is a dramatic improvement, which makes it possible to fall back on maximum flash power when taking a battery-draining series of shots.

Light power for pros

Powerful handheld flash guns Worldwide, professional photographers put their trust in the powerful 76 MZ-5 digital from Metz. Above all at weddings and fashion shows, its ability to take fast series of shots pays off. Its secondary reflector which makes it possible to set perfect highlights in the eye is worth its weight in gold. It goes without saying that the camera-specific system flash modes of the various manufacturers can also be used perfectly with this professional flash, through different SCA adapters.All menu navigation settings can be activated from the device itself, and a locking function means you wont accidentally change fixed values. Of course, the 76 MZ-5 digital keeps up with the times and provides outstanding flash convenience with a great deal of creative flexibility in setting up shots. Discriminating photographers will appreciate the lasting flash performance ensured by the NiMH rechargeable battery and the Metz charger. It offers considerably more power than the previous NiCad rechargeable battery. The control unit of the 76 MZ-5 digital is specially equipped with a large, illuminated dot matrix display. Plus, the reflector of the zoom flash unit automatically adapts to a focal length range of 24 - 105 mm depending on the type of camera. A wide-angle diffusing disk, included with the flash, enables expansion to 20 mm.

For pros

Great performance: The Metz mecablitz 45 CL-4 digital is a powerful handheld flashgun that is very convincing, due to its GN of 45 for ISO 100/21 and 35 mm focal length, as well as the most modern charging method available. It is an ideal flash unit for photographers who put higher priority on high light output and rapid recycling times, as well as extensive optional features. It is equipped with a secondary reflector in order to be able to create perfect highlights in portraits. It goes without saying that the camera-specific system flash modes of the various manufacturers can also be used perfectly with this professional flash, through various SCA adapters. The TTL mode and the automatic functions can be just as easily set as manual partial lighting, via the practical dial on the top of the 45 CL-4 digital. This flash unit, specially designed for digital cameras, also offers all the important special functions listed above for the 76 MZ-5 digital, including high-speed synchronization (HSS). The reflectors vertical and horizontal tilt and swivel abilities can also be used for indirect flash lighting, just like on the 76 MZ-5 digital. The Power Pack P 76 is available for particularly intensive professional use, which can increase the flash output and further reduce the flash recycle time.

The flash units in this family dont have TTL flash mode; instead, they have the so-called automatic flash mode, in addition to manual flash mode. Numerous photographers still make use of this simple but extremely effective form of flash measurement. With automatic flash mode, it isnt the camera that controls the flash, but instead, the photocell integrated in the flash measures the light reflected from the object. It is a really nice thing!

Fill-in flash

Backlighting makes interesting light effects possible, if you know how to use it correctly. A flash should be used in any case. With the flash output reduced by 1 or 2 f-stops, it is possible to retain the character of the existing light. The higher the guide number, the greater the range of the flash unit. However, when comparing, it is important to make sure that the same focal length and the same ISO specification are used.

Long exposure times

It is worth experimenting with exposure times that are longer than the flash sync speed. For moving objects, interesting blurring effects and a corresponding brightening of the foreground can be obtained in a range of approx. 1 second. By the way, the easiest way to extend the range of a flash unit is to increase the ISO setting on the camera. To be set at 1600 ISO instead of 100 thus quadrupling the range of the flash unit.

Side lighting

The slave flash mode is interesting in order to obtain especially varied directed lighting. Completely without a cable (wireless), this method can be used to place and trigger an external flash at any place in the room. In this way, interesting additional lighting can be set, whether in the form of a light accent or a side light, for example. Naturally, multiple slaves can be used at the same time. It is particularly exciting to use this to obtain separate lighting for the subject and the background of the picture.
Slave/servo mode at close range: The Metz macro flash is fixed directly on the subject and creates precise yet creative lighting for close-ups. In addition to which the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital can also be used in its slave function for effectively brightening up dark areas of the picture.

Creative at close range:

Correct lighting is of particular importance in the macro range. The Metz macro flash 15 MS-1 digital is especially suited for this. Due to its positioning directly on the lens the light cannot fail to reach its destination. With its ring form and completely wireless functionality, the new Metz flash unit is excitingly attractive. Special light accents and a variety of lighting options are also possible thanks to adjustable reflectors. Thus, directed light can be adjusted in terms of contrast and brightness. In the slave mode, the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 can also be used to effectively lighten shadowed areas of pictures.

For the imaginative

Flash with a fun factor: Have you ever been upset due to photographs that are too dark, because the integrated flash in your camera was once again inadequate? Wouldnt you like to have a handy flash unit that can also be used separate from the camera once in a while? Then Metz has the perfect solution for you! Let the curtain rise for the Metz mecablitz 28 CS-2 digital, with technology and a size that have been optimally matched to compact digital cameras. The fun factor is increased by the self-learning servo mode and the smart EASY mode. For the very first time the flash result can be directly manipulated via the immediate correction buttons (+/-). Simply shoot, check the result on the camera screen and adjust straight away as required all at the touch of a button. Thanks to this servo model you can increase your flash power without any undesired side effects. The compact tool draws its power from either universally available alkaline micro batteries or equally competitive rechargeable micro batteries.

For those who love attention to detail
Innovation in the macro world! As a wireless macro flash, the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital has two individually adjustable reflectors. As a result this new ring-shaped macro flash ensures even, precise lighting On the other hand it also enriches creative lighting configuration in the macro range. There are no limits to personal creativity thanks to the individually adjustable reflectors (0- 20) and the associated finely calibrated light-distribution. In this way it is particularly easy to create effective highlights with any subject. This is all achieved with maximum ease because the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital automatically adjusts its light output by means of wireless TTL*, making it particularly reliable and precise. There is also a clear, dot-matrix display, which makes the mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital even easier to use. If you are looking for even greater scope for creativity, you can use the manual control facility of the new mecablitz 15 MS-1. This enables you to vary the amount of light given off, with six levels of light output. Spacesaving internal (rechargeable) batteries provide efficient power supply. The Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital is compatible with all camera manufacturers (Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax und Sony-Alpha) and naturally, even if the camera has no built-in flash, manual flash mode is possible via sync cable.

D D-TTL Modern further development of the TTL flash control with measurement pre-flash technique for Nikon cameras. 3D and D-TTL-3D For the 3D-TTL (Nikon) and D-TTL-3D flash control, additional data such as the distance to the subject, for example, is taken into consideration in the flash exposure.
Guide number (GN) The guide number is the code number for the light output of a flash unit. It is dependent on the set light sensitivity ISO and (for zoom reflectors) on the reflector position, as well as on any reflector attachments that may be in use (e.g. wideangle or telephoto lens cover). For high speed synchronization (HSS), the guide number is dependent on the shutter speed as well.
Manual zoom The zoom position of the main reflector and thus the illumination of the flash unit can be adjusted manually to the lens focal length. Metal stand High quality metal base for secure attachment on camera shoe.
Modeling light Modeling light is a stroboscope light with a high flash frequency lasting a few seconds. With this quasi permanent light, the light dispersion and shadow formation at the subject can be checked before taking the photograph. Motor zoom The zoom position of the main reflector and hence the illumination of the flash unit can be adjusted automatically to the lens focal length. P Partial light mode Manual flash mode with unregulated light output. By setting partial light mode on the flash unit, the light output or illumination duration of the flash unit can be adapted specifically to the photographic situation.
S SCA 3002 adapter system For system cameras with digital or analog data transmission between the camera and flash unit. By using an SCA adapter from the SCA 3002 system, there are numerous additional system flash functions available with flash units from the SCA 3002 system, depending on the type of camera. The firmware of an SCA adapter from the SCA 3002 system is updateable via Metz service for future cameras. The SCA 3002 adapters are an updated version of the SCA 3000 system. SCA 300 adapter system For system cameras for adaptation to flash units of the SCA 3002 or SCA 300 system. Depending on the type of camera, not all system flash functions are supported by the SCA 300 system. Secondary reflectorr

Technical specifications

Full description

The Metz mecablitz 58 AF-2 TTL Shoe Mount Flash for Sony Alpha DSLR is the premier Metz shoe mount flash designed to be compatible with all digital Sony Alpha SLR cameras. To better facilitate compatibility with current and future cameras this flash features a built-in USB port that allows for future firmware updates via the internet. Advanced features include a secondary reflector with 3 light output ratios built-in reflector card for soft light and a permanent modeling light for checking the photo. The 58 AF-2 is designed to fully support a Sony Alpha digital SLR camera's TTL system. Both ADI flash mode and ADI remote mode (master and slave operation) are possible. It can be operated as a TTL slave unit that can be controlled by the camera's own built-in commander mode or as a manufacturer's flash with master capabilities. If the camera has a built-in flash the mecablitz 58 AF-2 can also be employed wirelessly in the system even in servo mode.
