mecablitz 44 MZ-2 digital
Variable entry-level model:
In conjunction with the respective SCA adapter, the mecablitz 44 MZ-2 digital can be used with almost any analog SLR camera as well as with digital cameras from Nikon and Olympus/Panasonic (Four Thirds standard). The powerful motor zoom compact flash model (GN 44) with the large light angle of 28-105 mm can be used either in TTL, automatic, or manual flash mode and is distinguished by the interesting special functions. For example, its strengths include the Nikon i-TTL flash mode, which makes fill-in flash possible in daylight to effectively brighten far too dark shadowy areas, second curtain synchronization (important to enable more natural blurring effects) and much more. In addition, the 44 MZ-2 digital supports the special flash functions for cameras from Hasselblad, Mamiya, Rollei, and Leica.
