Fairly high power, tracks with the zoom lens settings. Works well with the Canon 40D. The bounce card included to give nice catch lights while getting a broad light for portraits.

Input power is slightly increased to a guide number of 50. His new diffuser covers more angular, covering up to 12 mm focal. Other features are the way high-speed sync, manual with power adjustable in eight steps and a recharge time of 0.1 to 3.5 seconds, according to the power of the flash and the battery. The most interesting may be the ability to work wirelessly both in slave mode, controlled by the master of the camera, as in servo mode working for free, allowing us to do more creative photographs. Another thing I like most of the Metz flash is incorporating a USB port to update the firmware every time you leave a new model of camera so you can continue using it in the future.

The Metz mecablitz 50 AF-1 TTL Shoe Mount Flash for Canon DSLR is a Metz shoe mount flash designed to be compatible with all digital Canon SLR cameras, both current and future models. To better facilitate compatibility with current and future cameras, this flash now features a built-in USB port that allows for future firmware updates via the internet. A high quality metal base allows quick and easy attachment to the camera.
The 50 AF-1 is designed to fully support a Canon digital SLR camera's TTL system. Both E-TTL/E-TTL-II flash mode and E-TTL remote mode (slave and servo mode) are possible. It can be operated as a TTL slave unit that can be controlled by the camera's own built-in commander mode or as a manufacturer's flash with master capabilities.
The flash also features an auto zoom head from 24-105mm that can be set to match the camera's sensor, a full bounce and swivel head (with a fully swiveling reflector system which also contains a flip-out reflector card and a diffuser), a built-in wide angle diffuser for 12mm coverage, and in addition, full manual control with 12 variable power output levels.
