msk2193 Posted December 23, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 23, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Good evening all, Has anyone attempted to or successfully used the monstrous Metz 76M Flash system with the M8 or M9? I am interested in learning if this could work as a "pair", or if it is time to sell the Metz system. Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Hi msk2193, Take a look here The M9 and a Metz 76 MZ-5 Flash. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest mc_k Posted December 23, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 23, 2009 Metz says it's approved for the M8. I have asked here several times about the 45CL4 and never gotten any response. As long as you have it already, why not break some new ground? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giordano Posted December 23, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 23, 2009 At a minimum the 76 MZ-5 will work in its "auto" and manual modes as it does with every other camera. Beyond that all I know is what's on the Metz website SCA-Adapter: Metz. I have asked here several times about the 45CL4 and never gotten any response. The 45 CL-4 works fine on the M8 (and therefore, one can be confident, the M9) in auto or manual but not TTL. For TTL you need the confusingly named 45 CL-4 digital with the SCA 3502 M5 adapter, and you don't get as full a set of modes and functions as you do with the 76 MZ-5: see the link above.

amedick Posted December 23, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 23, 2009 I have the 76MZ-5 with the metz 3502m5 adapter. I have tried the flash with my M8, in both A and GNC modes. Both worked in trial mode, though have not used this extensively in practice. One of my projects is to get a Lastolite Hotshoe 60 X 60 cm, with the 76MZ-5 plate and see how this works. Has anyone gone as far as to try this? I have tried using the 76mz-5 with a 54mz4 + 3083 using the Metz remote trigger mode. Have tried both master - slave combinations, and it seems to work all the way to 1/180 sec sync. I have just received my M9, though not tried with flash. Is their anything specific you would like to know for when I try this combo? Best Regards John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
msk2193 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted December 23, 2009 Thanks guys, the SCA 3502 M5 adapter is currently on its way from B&H. I will give it a good workout as soon as the M9 is in my hands of course and report back ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
