There definitely should be an adapter for the mythical new interface. The current system is just so
awkward.
Quote: Glad you are enjoying the new flash. Is the instruction book any better than the Sigma or Pentax? So many modes and so hard to understand what they do.
I don't have any Pentax flashes (don't wanna buy the AF360FGZ without any swivel, and the AF540FGZ is more power, size, and price than I need), so I can't really properly do that comparison.
But the Metz manual is far better than the Sigma one. It's still clearly translated into English, but the translation isn't as awkward, and more importantly, the basic organization of the manual is way better. You could read through it and have an understanding of the flash's operation without having the flash in front of you to refer to constantly, which isn't the case with Sigma.
But actually even more important, you barely need the manual, once you've glanced through it once. The interface itself is simple and clean (despite the multi-button annoyance, and the conflating of modes and settings).
