How does metz works with 5D?

[josho]

I wondering who actually uses Metz on 5D and hows the performance between Metz and 580EXII? In fact I had no idea which Metz works great on 5D, so I wanted to find out more about it.

For metz (if its the 54MZ4) a SCA 3102 M3 (or M2 with M3 firmware) adaptor would definitely work with the 5D

Spoke to a fellow photographer who was using this combination during my company's DND. Photos were nice exposed utilising metz's own "A" mode with the camera on "Manual"

So it must be:


But hows the comparison between this and 580EX II? Does it almost the same?

I met a Filipino photographer who owns both, and he says he prefers his Metz 54 to 580EX (mkI).

Someone bought this recently. Can't remember who...heh. It's quite a new flash from Metz, and I hear it's as good, if not better than the 580EX.

Already in other forums ... people are complaining that the controls are a b*tch ... just to set something or to get something done, you need to go through a whole load of menus.

Its not as intuitive as the 580 or the 54MZ4

I'm still wondering why they removed the jog dial.

I love the 54MZ4's skin colour cast. Very natural. But then again, all metz flashes (as i was told) has a learning curve.

hmm this is quite confusing on which to take thou. hmm...
Look like 54MZ4 had better comment ...
