Need Advice: S602z with Metz 32MZ-3

cllai · 20th December 2002

Hi all,

Can anyone advice if the AF measuring beam on the Metz 32 MZ-3 will work with the S602z?

Also, if not bouncing, is the Metz 32 series of flashes a bit "low" for using with Fuji's or other vendors' Wide Adapter?

Thanks.

The 602 only has a standard hotshoe for triggering the flash.

No other flash functions will be utilized.

1. The AF focussing beam will not work on the S602Z.

2. The Metz 32 series should be tall enough for Fuji's wide-angle converter. I used to have both and I think I've tested before. If you already have the wide-angle converter, test it out first at the shop with the Metz 32 flash before buying the flash

hello all

can i say that the main difference between the Z1, Z2 and Z3 is that Z3 has the AF beam?

Also, could anyone tell me what is the SCA 3000 system thingey about Metz flashes? the Z1 and Z2 do not have that while the Z3 does?

Thanks!!

Yes. Btw, since you're using the 602z, it pointless going for the z2 or z3 'coz the additional features are not supported anyway. The z1 would suffice for the 602z.

Any of these 3 flashes will function like the Z1 on the S602Z. The AF beam, motorized zoom, sca adaptors are all not activated/used by the S602Z.
