For those who don't need TTL and want a high powered flash, look at the Metz
45 CT series. They are cheap on ebay. I picked one up with a home made
battery pack for about 70 US. It replaced my old Metz 202 that I didn't want

In case you did not know this, Metz once made a TTL module for the 45 and
60CT guns which enables TTL with an LX sans FA1 (needs 4P sync cord A), or
indeed with FA1 (needs 4P sync cord B).
There appear to be 2 types - SCA371 (6pin for 45CT4/3), and C80 (8 pin for 45
CT5 60 CT2).

Paul, you can easily loosen the clamp screws at the bottom, (the silver
clamp bad is just a friction setup and the screws are very easily
accessible) and swivel the whole unit through 180 degress to point backwards
though if you wanted too.

Why not just loosen the tripod screw and mount it backwards.

Paul, take a look at the attached scan
Same with mine, 90 degrees either way. Haven`t seen a manual online for
them, but the MIR page describes it pretty well.

How many degrees can the head of the AF400T flash rotate. It seems to

Paul,
Mine rotates 180 deg to the left and 90 right. When
rotated to the left it will also tilt up so you point
it at an umbrella over your head.
BTW, has anyone put one of those flash extender
devices (Projecta Flash et al) on their AF400T? Will
it fit? I want some fill flash sometimes on tele
Mine goes 90 to the left, 90 to the right, 15 down and 90 up.
