Questions & Answers

PAUL C : DOES THIS FLASH WORK WITH SAMSUNG NX1 CAMERA?ANDREW R : This model is compatible with Canon EOS series cameras and features dedication/automation specific to Canon equipment. Compatibility with other makes is not indicated by the manufacturer.
Shopper : Can this flah be used with an external pow Eric pack and if so w hitch ones?JOHN L : It does not have a port for connecting an external power pack. You will need to look at the 50 series to find that functionality.JOHN P : Not to my knowledge http://www.metz.de/en/flash-units/product-ranges/system-flash-units/mecablitz-44-af-1-digital/data-sheet.html?mobile=1
Bidul L : Hello, I bought it for my EOS 350D. Metz says this flash is capable of rear curtain sync, if the camera shows the option. My 350D built-in flash works perfectly and can be configured on first or rear curtain sync, but not the 44 AF-1: it always fire on 1st curtain (Using Tv or M long exposures) Any clue?ANDREW R : Things to check: Did you set 2nd curtain sync in the custom functions? This may need to be done as a custom function instead of flash control setting. Was a 2nd curtain function available on the flash unit itself? Try setting it on the flash unit if possible. *Canon does indicate that under some conditions the XT/350D will fire a "pre-flash" but then fire the flash normally afterwards.

Perfect Flash

I've been photographing professionally for 40yrs now. Back in the days of film photography most of us trusted the name Metz for it's superior quality. When I went digital I first went with a Canon 540 unit which was a fine flash however I returned to Metz. Now this flash is very user friendly and powerful and I own two of them, Like many others have already stated, the downside of the unit is of course the battery life with 4 double A batteries. I shoot with the Canon 5d Mark 111 so I do have other option on the camera's menu to work with,.If I may, if you shoot with the 5D camera, you might like to know that you can shoot with either the AF or the AF-1 flash. Simply put you can shoot the Metz 44 AF Nikon flash on this canon camera My only hope is for Metz would offer an external power supply set up much like their flash units of days gone by.

power at a great price...

powerful, well built flash at a very good price point. best as a remote fill and in close focus situations. sluggish recycle may be an issue. overall a great add to the bag.

Its well worth the money and it really rocks on shoots .

With its slim-line design and new quick lock system for the unit base, the mecablitz 44 AF-1 E-TTL-/E-TTL-II digital is the perfect solution for price-conscious amateur photographers. The clear control panel on the back of the unit impresses with its simple operation; offering a high level of functional reliability. The high performance design affords reserve power in any photo situation (max. guide number 144 for ISO 100/21deg. and 105 mm).

Depending on the camera, it has the appropriate application possibilities for any lighting conditions in TTL mode. The photographer can manually set up to 4 partial light levels enabling manipulation of lighting effects. With the appropriate camera model the mecablitz can also be synchronized to the first or second shutter curtain enabling variable options for creative lighting.

The Metz 44 AF-1 also offers a slave mode, depending on the camera, making wireless TTL flash child's play - and opening up new dimensions in flash photography. Its motor zoom function (24 -105 mm), the fully swiveling reflector with flip-out reflector card and the integrated wide-angle diffuser (12 mm) afford the photographer additional creative scope.
