a Expert Date Reviewed: September 14, 2008 Strengths: Very reliable. Never failed me. Consistent colour temp throughout. Predictable flash output in TTL. Internal sensor works fine (even without TTL accessories). Battery last longer than EOS Speedlight. Weaknesses: Metz's battery packs are very expensive. Cannot use NiCAD or NiMH in alkaline battery holder according to Metz (I never had any problems with it but can be rewired to suit) Small reflector should be able to controll independantly (But not a weak point though) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 11-20 years Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: eBay Similar Products Used: Sunpak Hammerhead (Can't remember the model, used in 1988) Cobra 700 EOS 540EZ EOS 430EZ Type of photography: People

a Intermediate Date Reviewed: August 9, 2004 Strengths: Strengths: - Sturdy, RELIABLE! - Fast recycle time, enough power for most uses - Bounce/swivel head with secondary lamp - Many modes to suit your needs - A standard in Europe for wedding photography - Repair and parts service Weaknesses: - Heavy and bulky, may not fit everybody's needs. Not just the unit to carry always in the bag. - Old-fashioned NI-CD battery with "memory" effect. and the charger is not intelligent, you have to remember when to disconnect it. - The accesories are expensive. But this is true for all brands, isn't it? Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 0-1 years Price Paid: $441.00 Purchased At: http://www.fotoganga Similar Products Used: Metz 32 MZ-3 + SCA 3401 (red-eye effect!)

from S.F. CA Date Reviewed: August 7, 2003 Strengths: Good power; TTL flash is superior for critical photography, where results determine your paycheck; bounce/swivel head, and Omni-Bounce has unit to fit. CL/4 has a bit better control panel layout than CT/4, otherwise they seem interchangeable from users standpoint. Seeem to last forever, work as they're supposed to; what's not to like? By the way--someone commented that they are not to be used with Quantom Turbo batteries...nonsense!!! I, and almost every wedding photographer this side of Pluto use that combo as standard gear. Like I said earlier, 40,000 pops and still running, and every one of them with the Turbo! Weaknesses: When I think of one, I'll post it. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 21+ years Type of photography: People
