Re: Wireless trigger for a metz 48.Yes, no ... what to do? H

Thank you! I had a opportunity to get a F58AM for 301 Euros yesterday... it was used but in mint condition. Oh boy, damn :D I found another f58AM but it's priced at 330Euros with 1 year. I prefer to get a new one than getting a used for that price. I was thinking on the Metz 58 but... i heard it can...

Re: Wireless trigger for a metz 48.Yes, no ... what to do? H

Do you think that Sony F58AM can control a Metz 48 AF-1 ?

I can see me using 2 flashes... i just don't want to get a second flash without knowing if it's compatible with my Metz. I love the metz and i really don't want to keep it on the shelf if the Sony F58AM doesn't sync with it...

Thank you
Pedro

bummer :(

What's your advise on a wireless trigger?
It seems that everything is pretty much "Chinese built" ...

Birma, i would like to see them ;) If you have any. Greg, thank you. I'm no expert at architectural shots ... or better, i'm no expert at all at any kind of photography. "The problem" i that i like taking shots of everything so... It's hard not being a photographer for a living, to be expe...

Re: Wireless trigger for a metz 48.Yes, no ... what to do? H

Hmmm... David, with a A550, the pop up flash fires. i really don't know how strong the flashlight is but, it's not that "dimmed" ... :x The problem is that i only wanted to capture the light from the metz flash, that's behind the subject... and if the pop up flash fires to command the metz...

Re: Wireless trigger for a metz 48.Yes, no ... what to do? H

Ok, let me explain. What i wanted to do is to use my Metz flash, off camera ( in a stand ). What i don't want to do, is to use my pop-up flash. So my doubt is, everytime i have my Metz off camera, i need to have my pop-up flash on? Isn't there a way to use my Metz flash, off camera, without firing t...

Birma... i live near Torres Vedras. To be more precise, a little town by the sea called Ericeira ( near Mafra, a town with a monument ). Thank you for the comments. I have larger versions, but after using maxed out resolution on the web, i decided to go to a more "web safe" resolution, wit...

Wireless trigger for a metz 48.Yes, no ... what to do? HELP

Hello all, well, i'm having this problem with my flash/camera setup. I have a A550 and a Metz 48 AF-1. I though i could use this flash in wireless mode as a master... but i can't. It only works in Slave. I think this is more a problem of the A550 than of the flash. The problem is that i need to have...

A Great weekend

Well, last weekend was a terrific weekend. Finally the weather is cleaning up and the temperatures are getting more and more pleasant. Although, not everything was perfect. My A550 fell on the floor :( The neck strap just got loose and "Kaboom". But, for the sake of my wallet, nothing was ...

Re: Flowers 2010

Well, i must admit, i'm not much into flowers photography. Not that i don't like it ... it's more because i don't have a macro and i think that the photos loose the beauty of the plant/flower if we don't get it right. But yesterday, as i was waiting for my brother, i took this from our garden ... no...

Re: Ocean path ... it's all about catching those moments

Very good Dusty :) ehehhe i'm glad you didn't forget everything! Brazilian Portuguese and Native Portuguese have some differences ... for outsiders are not noticeable but even me, when listening to Brazilians, sometimes have difficulties trying to understand what they say. Of course, it's not the us...
