Metz Mecablitz 36 AF-4 ?

VaughnA · 06-11-2009, 11:47 AM

Does anyone have any experience with this flash? A quick search didn't come up with anything obvious. I was considering an 285HV but this looks like a lot more flash for the money and has P-TTL. I'm looking for a simple, easy to use flash with a little more power and bounce than the built in flash on my K10D.

I think it looks interesting too, but haven't found one nearby to evaluate. (I'm not buying it myself because I use wireless P-TTL all the time.) If you get it, I'd love to hear your experience.

I found a quick user review of the Olympus version in the dpreview forums: Re: i own one: Olympus SLR Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review

Note that the "fill-in flash" discussed there is a flash mode offered by the Olympus flash system and not relevant to the Pentax version.
