Still gettting familiar with it, but for the price it will do the job, since I don't use flash all that often. Still figuring out how to use as fill flash outdoors as it seems almost a little too powerful for close-in portrait work, while still on camera.

I primarily do nature photography. I am now mounting it whenever i shoot. It has exceeded my expectations.

This is a great flash, has plenty of power as well. My only (very slight) complaint would be it's recycling time. Typically the flash is ready to fire again in about 3 seconds. Other than that- it's great and for the money, you can't beat it. :)

This German made flash is solid as my SB-28,SB-24 and costs less than half Nikons SB-900.Don't go for the cheaper made brands!!This METZ is the real deal.It has as much power as my Nikon SB-28,I checked them both with flash meter, with them on manual, perfect match.Don't waste your money on the Nikons or the cheaper imports.You will not regret it.Oh by the way the METZ-50AF-1 integrates with my Nikon D-200 perfectly.The TTL exposures are "dead bang" on.
