Metz 50 AF-1 & 58 AF-2 to have Servo Function

I was asking the US Sales Rep for Metz why the new Pentax versions of the flashes didn't have servo mode, and I got a rather pleasant response.

Due to all the requests for it, there will be a Firmware Update in Jan or Feb that will add the Servo function to the flash - shouldn't be a big deal, as the other versions have it.

You can also do Wireless HSS with the 58 AF-2, but unfortunately you need an AF540 as the master controller for that to work. Radio Triggers would be a bit cheap I think.

What is this servo function?

Also, radio triggers often do not transmit ttl data unless you get more expensive high end ones. Even then, I'm not sure you can find one that does p-ttl.

Servo is Metz's term for an Optica (light activated)l Slave function

Thanks - wasn't aware of that.
