lightpainter Posted December 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted December 26, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have had a Metz 50MZ 5 with an SCA 3501 module for my M6 TTL for about 8 years. I sold my analogue Ms (M6 and M7) shortly after I got my M8. I rarely use flash because mounting the M8 on the rail of the Metz with the flash to the right or left always make me look like a warrior. That' s why I bought the SF 20 later to have a little flash now and then. After the introduction of the SF 58 I have been thinking about whether I should sell both flashlights and get the modern unit. I do not know if the SCA 3501 communicates as well with the M8 as the SF 58 is supposed to do. On the other hand, I have heard the SF 58 makes the M8 hard to handle with quite a big and heavy load on top. What's your advice? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightpainter Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share #2 Posted December 26, 2009 After fiddling with the SCA 3501 I found out it does not work in TTL mode, just in A(utomatic) mode. Maybe the 3502 would, but if I have to investigate, I think I would rather go for the SF 58 instead of buying a new 3502. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giordano Posted December 26, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 26, 2009 According to the Metz website the SCA 3502 doesn't give TTL on the M8 with the 50 MZ-5. This is the compatibility table for older units: http://www.metz.de/fileadmin/fm-dam/Download/Homepage_Englisch/Photo_Electronic/SCA_Archiv/SCA_Adapter_Archive_GB.pdf and this for current ones: http://www.metz.de/en/photo-electronics/sca-adapter.html .
