Metz mecablitz 54MZ-4 TTL Shoe Mount Flash (Guide No. 177'/54 m at 105mm) for Minolta Maxxum
- Price not yet available
- No Longer Available
The Metz 54MZ-4 is a compact flash that is simple to operate and is loaded with every special function imaginable. Ergonomics are straightforward, with most features operable with only one button. Power is very powerful for a shoe-mount flash unit. Intelligent engineering is evident everywhere, from the auxiliary flash with built-in neutral density filter to the redeye-reducing "Cobra" design of the flash head itself.
This model also supports TTL operation with digital cameras. Fits all Maxxum cameras (a.k.a. Dynax), except the 7000, 8000, and 9000 non-"i" models.
- Compatible with Metz Remote System (Requires SCA 3083)
- The 54 MZ-4 becomes a master TTL flash by attaching a camera-specific TTL SCA system module and incorporating a slave flash (32 Z-2, 32 MZ-3, 40 MZ-1*, 40 MZ-3*, 44 MZ-2, 50 MZ*, 54 MZ*, 70 MZ* & 76 MZ*) with the SCA 3083 adapter attached to the slave. The combo includes preflash metering systems for Sony/Minolta digital SLR cameras, and also works in non-TTL autoexposure mode for older or manual cameras. Used with the SCA 3083, the 54 MZ-4 can be a general slave or a slave with digital preflash suppression.
- Compatible with digital cameras
- "Cobra Design" flash reduces the redeye effect
- Autozooming head can cover from 24 to 105mm, and 20mm when used with the included wideangle diffuser
- Flash tilts downward to better illuminate closeup subjects
- High-speed flash synchronization allows flash to be used with any shutter speed (only with appropriate camera bodies)
- Wireless full TTL triggering
- Evaluative preflash metering & Stroboscopic flash for previewing effect
- Excellent power capacity: Regular alkaline batteries yield 180 full-power flashes, NiCd batteries yield 60, Powerpacks P40 & P50 yield 160 & 350 respectively

Comments about Metz mecablitz 54MZ-4 TTL Shoe Mount Flash:
I have been using Metz flash units for over 30 years and I guess I just took them for granted.
I have gone from simple to complex and now to a unit that allows you the choice. Using this unit in fully automatic mode on my SONY 200d is a no brainer. The pictures are excellent and it is as simple as mounting the flash to the camera.
By just changing the base module the 3500 system allows me to use my 54MZ-4 on any camera and I have a dedicated flash. This is a great advantage over the SONY, or for that matter, any of the camera brand flashes.
Quality, versatility, function, power and flash recycling time are all excellent. I would highly recommend this unit. As a customer of B&H since the early 1970s I would also recommend that you buy from them.
