The METZ Mecablitz 50 AF-1 Digital Flashgun is the evolution of the 48 AF-1 digital, winner of the TIPA Award for best photographic accessory 2008. The elegant housing can be mounted onto the camera hotshoe via the new metal base & fixed in place quickly & easily with a single movement thanks to the optimised lock system. The guide number has been increased to 50 (ISO 100/21 deg at 105mm). Performance has been further optimised through improvements to the high output flash tube. Moreover, the METZ Mecablitz 50 AF-1 flash has been equipped with a servo flash release, via the camera's internal flash which works independently of the camera's master function. Even the wide-angle diffuser has been enhanced & is now suitable for illumination of wide-angle focal lengths from 12mm (135 format). Features / Tech Spec:
