Comments about Metz Metz Mecablitz 28 CS-2 Digital Slave Flash for Compact Digital Cameras:

Had this flash a week and still can't get the battery compartment cover open. Am unwilling to break it so I have not used prying force. Looks like the manufacturer assembled this before the parts "dried" and they glued themselves together. The flash tube cover lens, which seems to be the wide angle one is also stuck tight. I want to use the telephoto one. Instruction booklet very poor. (GB translation)

Comments about Metz Metz Mecablitz 28 CS-2 Digital Slave Flash for Compact Digital Cameras:

Great German made product. Works very well with shoeless point and shoot digital cameras. The slave never failed during my testing after about thirty pictures at different ranges. I will probably get a second unit for portraits and table top pictures.

Comments about Metz Metz Mecablitz 28 CS-2 Digital Slave Flash for Compact Digital Cameras:

The flash is used with a Sony DSC-W7. I am very pleased with this purchase. It is a must if you expect a good picture in darkness more than 10' away. In total darkness, I have had great pictures up to 60' away. You will not regret your purchase.
