Metz 58 AF-1 Digital Nikon Fit Flash: £250.21

High performance flash unit

The innovative Metx 58 AF-1 high-performance unit was the first flash equipped with a USB port, used to update the specific firmware of the model via the internet. The Metz mecablitz 58 AF-1 digital provides state-of-the-art secondary reflector technology, high-performance power management, multi-zone AF measuring flash, and a fully swiveling reflector system. The new top Metz model transmits all camera-specific system flash modes from Canon, Nikon, Pentax/Samsung, Olympus/Panasonic or Sony Alpha cameras, including the respective wireless TTL mode. Due to its high guide number, the 58 AF-1 digital is not only especially powerful, but is also outstanding for bounce flash use. Additional brilliance can be obtained for the close-up range via the integrated, system-controlled secondary reflector for bounce flash.

Using a flash is more fun than ever before. It’s no wonder, because with Metz system flash units, absolute operating comfort is available. Clearly-arranged displays, some of them even illuminated, give information, for example, about what values the respective flash program completely automatically sets. Sophisticated flash techniques are therefore child‘s play to use. There is also the guaranteed future factor for units with an integrated USB port. It’s not for nothing that the mecablitz 58 AF-1 digital was given the prize for the “Best Flash Unit in Europe 2007/2008”* and the mecablitz 48 AF-1 digital a TIPA Award in the Best Accessory section.
