WATCH OUT with your eyes! very Powerful
I use a SONY A100; and this camera is nothing until I mount the Metz54... Very powerful, be aware not to point it to somebody's eyes...You can bounce it from far walls, high ceilings and get perfect lighting; it has plenty of functions to control almost any lighting condition; You can buy an adapter and use it on canon, nikon, contax, pentax, etc. with full TTL functions.

The new Metz 54MZ-4 is a special version of the company's 54MZ-3 series flash.
And because the Metz 54MZ-4 is D-TTL compatible, it will provide functionality based on the specific type of Camera & lens used.
The 54MZ-4 has a built-in secondary flash that can be used as fill to produce wrap around lighting when the main flash, with its built-in tilt/swivel function,is bounced off a wall or ceiling. The main flash's Auto Zoom feature works with lenses in the 24-105mm range, producing a Guide Number of 177 (feet) at ISO 100 at maximum zoom setting and a Guide Number of 131 (feet) at ISO 100 at 50mm.
This new flash unit retains the user-friendly operation control panel of the 54MZ-3 and offers nine different Automatic settings and well as a variable Manual mode, offering ratios down to 1/256th power.
The 54MZ-4 is user-friendly with only two buttons, and a single thumb wheel controls the logically arranged menu system. The illuminated LCD panel is large and easy-to-read and only displays the pertinent mode information.
Special features of the 54MZ-4 includes the display of focal length for the lens in use in the LCD screen. This display can be adjusted from feet to meters, or to various film/digital formats for standard 35mm, APS "digital", 645, or 6x6. Other features are auto flash bracketing, auto shut-off, and lockable keypad eliminating accidental setting changes.
