Metz 44 MZ-2 Flash 

EXTREMELY VERSATILE. In combination with the corresponding SCA adapter the mecablitz 44 MZ-2 can be used with almost any analog SLR camera as well as with Minolta, Nikon, Olympus and Sony digital cameras.

The powerful compact Auto-zoom model (GN 123) can be used in either TTL, automatic or manual flash mode, and features a number of interesting special functions including daylight fill-in flash in to brighten up very dark shadows. Rear curtain synchronization is important, when wanting to control the blurring effects of the subject in an action shot. Additionally, it offers (provided that the function is supported by the given camera) Advanced Distance Integration (ADI) flash control, multi-zone flash metering (Minolta), matrix-controlled fill-in flash and under-exposure indication in f-stops (Nikon), monitoring preflash function (Leica), TTL preflash (Contax), contrast control and spot-beam mode (Pentax).
