For the ambitious
Best flash unit in Europe
2007/2008*
Experts from 50 different trade
journals from 18 European countries
awarded this coveted prize to the
Metz mecablitz 58 AF-1 digital in
the Photo Accessories category. The
innovative high-performance unit was
the first flash equipped with a USB
port. It can be used to conveniently
update the specific firmware of each
variation of the model via the compu-
ter and Internet. It looks sleek, adjusts
the flash exposure with every trick
in the book, is intuitive to use and
tremendously powerful. Equipped
with innovative developments, the
Metz mecablitz 58 AF-1 digital
provides state-of-the-art secondary
reflector technology, high-perform-
ance power management, multi-zone
AF measuring flash, and a fully
swiveling reflector system. The new
top Metz model transmits all camera-
specific system flash modes from
Canon, Nikon, Pentax/Samsung,
Olympus/Panasonic or Sony Alpha
cameras (as of 03/2008), including
the respective wireless TTL mode. Due
to its high guide number, the 58 AF-1
digital is not only especially powerful,
but is also outstanding for bounce
flash use. For its vertical as well as
horizontal rotating and swiveling re-
flector, Metz integrated an extendible
reflector card for the first time. Addi-
tional brilliance can be obtained for
the close-up range via the integrated,
system-controlled, secondary reflector
for bounce flash.
