mecablitz 54 MZ-4i digital
For semi-professionals
Especially versatile:
Presenting the simple and highly functional flagship of the Metz SCA compact flash units.
It is convincing due to the:
- High light output: GN of 54 at ISO 100/21° and 105 mm focal length.
- Large light angle: illumination of a focal length range of 24-105 mm.
- switch-controlled secondary reflector, with light output that can be reduced by using a grey filter.
- Ease of use: a large display ensures you always have a good overview. Only two function keys and a control dial facilitate good handling.
- Great flexibility: To begin with, the Metz 54 MZ-4i digital is available with a standard foot. Furthermore, due to the SCA system, there are many adapters available for almost any camera.
- Diversity: Via various adapters, there are also a great deal of interesting special functions such as E -TTL and E-TTL II flash mode from Canon, i-TTL from Nikon, or ADI flash control from Sony Alpha, and many more, which increase the creative flexibility.
