Re: Metz Flash Setup
Mark, Thanks for posting this.
I used a Metz 60 when I worked for the local pro. That was back before EOS, since then I've kinda forgotten about auto thyristor. Like most people I've gotten caught up in TTL and E-TTL. After my last wedding and thinking about this post I dug out one of my old vivitar auto thyristor flashes and after sanding the contacts I spent the better part of Thursday morning playing with it. I had a blast doing self portraits. Set the flash and the camera to 5.6 and party on! I was surprised by how well even the vivitar handled the exposure. It would have taken me several exposures to get it right manually with each move of the flash or subject, the thyrisor was pretty darn good the first time. I think I'm going to have to get a 45 or a 60.
Have Fun,
Wm.
