Sounds neat, very neat. Could sway me towards Metz. I'm very close to buying a flash, after I found an old Hama flash bracket at the bottom of a closset. I have found memories about that piece of equpment. It gave me much better light than on camera flash. And it made me look pro, as I recall :-) Now I've grown grey, and with it I will look just almost as cool as Greywolf with his Speedgraphic PJ setup :-)
Speaking of brackets. It has a standard sync connection. What's my best options for triggering the flash if I want to have some kind autofunction? That leaves standard sync out, deosn't it? I'm not very fond of the wireless system, the flash tends to power down on me when I need it. So I beleave the Pentax sync is the only alternative left. Am I right about that?
