New Metz ring flash for Sony!!

[Javelin]

Man does this look nice. I wonder how much it's going to cost? David if you get a chance to (if you reading from the show). take one of the Sony execs over to metz and show them this. Still a little upset with them when all they had to do was continue production of the one they had ..

AC power would be nice.

Ya the Minolta one could do that. But i'd be happy with the rated capacity on this

Thanks for the links.

David, do you have a contact with Metz that would allow you to review this and also the sigma ring flashes?

I had a look at the Sigma, not at the Metz though. No time, and my contact Jane was off the stand (they also represent Tamron, who were sited adjacent) at the time.

I will be able to get both units to look at.
