Incompatibility between EOS 3 and Metz flash

Hi! I've just tried to shoot my first shots with flash on my new EOS 3. I got a Metz 40 MZ-2 and I often use it off-camera using a Canon connection cord. I've never experienced problems with my EOS 5, but with the 3, every time I turn the camera dial, the flash shoots! I resorted to using the fla

Hi Vesa, Short: It does work. Long: I've done that with the 380EX (at close distances you don't need much power anyway), but you'll soon realize that you'll need some flash exposure compensation. It'll depend on your setup. With a 50mm Nikkor enlarger lens inversed on the FL bellows I had

Hi all Can I use an (E-)TTL flash with full manual lenses (e.g. old FD lenses with the FD-EOS macro adapter and FL bellows) without problems? Thus does 550EX work in (E-)TTL mode with this setup or does it for some odd reason need an EF lens? My plan is to use flash in macro photography e.g. in
