[conik]

Poniewaz pojawialo sie sporo pytan co maja, jak dzialaja i z czym Metze napisalem do zrodla. Ponizej załańczam

Could you confirm several things:
- does 58 AF-1 and 48 AF-1 fully supports nikon CLS?
- does 58 AF-1 have a slave photocell? (triggered by another flash in M mode)
- does 58 AF-1 fully supports SU-4 mode (like in SB-900) and can control nikon SB-xxx flashes

na co pan Metz odpowiedzial tak:

Dear Mr. Mickiewicz,

Many thanks for your e-mail enquiry of 30. March 2009.

The mentioned flash units mecablitz 48 AF-1 digital and 58 AF-1 digital for Nikon are also equipped with the Nikon CLS. Therefore these flash units can be used for example at i-TTL- resp. i-TTL-BL-flash mode.

The afore-mentioned flash units also are equipped with a slave sensor. With it these flash units can be used as slaves at the wireless mode. But for this the built-in flash unit at the camera has to be equipped with this wireless mode.

The mecablitz 58 AF-1 digital for Nikon isn't equipped with the SU-4 mode. Therefore the mecablitz can't be triggered only by a flash unit without the Nikon wireless mode. But the mecablitz 58 AF-1 digital for Nikon can be used as a controller or master. With it the corresponding Nikon SB flash units can be controlled.

We hope we could be in assistance to you and remain
with best regards

Roland Laemmermann

Dla mnie sytuacja prosta - skoro nie widać rożnicy po co przepłacać?? Przecież kostkę fotocelową można dokupić za 30-40 zł
