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

tional brilliance can be obtained for
the close-up range via the integrated,
system-controlled, secondary reflector
