For my studio work and the few weddings I've got roped into doing, I use a Metz 40 MZ-2 and 40MZ-3.  At weddings and other big social events, I also use a Stroboframe Pro-RL flash bracket, which gets the flash up nice and high.  It's also good for portraits and such when you're shooting vert

Thank you, guys, very much for answers, this brings at least vision of light at the end of a tunnel :) So, it seems that AF500FTZ is the most popular, so does METZ. That's true, good things are never cheap, but on the other hand this is kind of long time investment. A good flash and other necessar

I have a Metz 40MZ3i used on Z-1p. Usually I point the flash to the white ceiling for more natural results and this flash (TTL mode) has never failed me (quite powerful). But I have found its odd shape with SCA3701 adaptor does not fit in any of my camera bag well. AF500FTZ (or similar design l

That's a bit misleading. Quantum makes a cable for the Pentax AF500FTZ that lets you power the flash from the Quantum Turbo battery. Believe me, you could shoot a whole wedding and still have flash power left over. The quantum Turbo isn't real cheap but it's real good. Ask TV or Ken Archer if

I have used my AF 500FTZ with PZ-1p for several weddings and found it to work great. I don't know where you heard about using truckloads of batteries. I have not found it to be any different than any other flash. Bruce Dayton Sacramento, CA - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED
