Not Worth the Investment

After I put it to the test, I realized that this flash was a waste of money. The light output was weak and inconsistent, leading to subpar photos. The mounting mechanism was also clunky and difficult to use.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Weak light output and cumbersome mount.

Metz for Sony is better

First impressions: Pros: Lots of features, lots of manual controls. Good communication with the camera. Good performance. The head rotates horizontally and vertically. Good for reflecting lightning. Seems much better than Sony for my Sony alphaCons: a practically useless manual. Obviously English is not the main language here. Poor explanation of user connection to camera. Overall it seems good to great but I'll wait until I use it more.

Pros
  • Flashes
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Excellent strong powerful flash

This review focuses on the Metz 48 AF-1 Mecablitz flash for Sony Alpha cameras. I've used this flash's big sister, the 58 AF, on Pentax bodies for the past few years, so I have experience with two Metz flashes. 58 is also available for Sony and I assume it works more or less identically to the Pentax version. So as I write this review I have both devices in mind - the more expensive (best-in-line) 58 and the more affordable 48. Verdict: The 48 is very good, especially if you're just looking for

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • So far so good
