WARNING: S602 + Metz 32Z-1 = big TC unfrenly

darkness · 1st November 2002

During my research for a TC, Sony VCL-HGD1758 came up as one of the candidates. But upon thinking abt it, I realise that my Metz sensor will have problems if I purchased a large TC (with a big diameter). The sensor will essentially be blocked out and unable to sense the exposure. Other flashes where the sensor is higher may not have this problem. Something for you guys to take note during your hunt for a TC, good luck!

it's the same case when you have a big wide-ange lens.....

one way to get round the problem is to use a flash bracket. but that would make the whole setup much heavier... I tried once but couldn't stand it
