Than the old 45 CT works with TTL (not so sophisticated >as the SB28!). I guess you have the Metz cable to connect the adapter. >Normaly there were two cables delivered with the Metz 45 CT. One for the >SCA 3xx adapter and one for the synchro socket. >I have since about 11 or 12 years a Metz 45 CT-4 and it works up to date >perfect. Iīve used it mostly for outside shooting when I need high >performance light in combination with a Metz bounce diffuser (60-33). >Sometimes Iīve used it as second flash to my SB28 (manual mode with sync >cable). I also use it in combo to my M6, but thatīs not for this forum. >Ask Metz via there homepage www.metz.de and Iīm sure they will send you a > english manual.

The flash is very good and uses its own sensor and flashcomputer built into the flash. There also exist an external sensor for this flash. John M.E.
