The 45 series is Metz's smallest entry in their mighty lineup of handle-mount flashes. Their size makes them comfortable to handhold and provides some valuable flash-to-lens seperation distance. Shooting in the vertical or horizontal position still allows the light to always be above and to the side of the lens' center. Any of them can light up a room on their own, and are an excellent choice for professionals. Built to withstand years of harsh use and abuse.
