Comments about Metz mecablitz 28AF-3N TTL Flash:
It works fine on a D70, but why would one want a small, lowpowered flash for the D70, which has one built in? Itdoes not work with the D2x; see problems section.
Problems Encountered: I bought this in late 2005 for use with a D2x. It is notcompatible with it. Metz support confirmed that fact. Idon't know if they have fixed the problem in newer units,but I suspect they have not, since it does not come up ifyou go to their web site and ask for recommended flashes forthe D2x. They do not point this incompatibility outexplicitly anywhere on their Web site or in thedocumentation for the flash unit, as far as I have been ableto find, however. Check carefully for compatibility beforebuying this or any Metz flash unit.
Previous Equivalent Items Owned: Nikon SB-17, SB-15, SB-800, R1, many independent flashes as well
Items I Recommend: A different flash unit.
