* EISA Award 2007/2008
Best Accessory 2008
Having just been awarded the cove-
ted “Tipa Awards 2008” in the cate-
gory Best Accessory, the Metz meca-
blitz 48 AF-1 digital is stylish and tech-
nically advanced. Equipped with a
USB port for firmware updates via In-
ternet, it has shown itself to be just as
innovative as its big brother the
58 AF-1 digital, which has been
singled out as “Europe’s Flash Unit of
the Year 2007/2008”*. Perfectly
matched to digital cameras from lea-
ding manufacturers, it is available
in five different versions (Canon,
Nikon, Olympus/Panasonic, Pentax/
Samsung or Sony Alpha) - each is
flash-ready, due to its fully automatic
flash modes. They facilitate precision
light output is tailor-made for each
individual subject. A variety of manual
intervention options complement the
photographic creative flexibility. Sup-
ported by a fully swivelling reflector
system, extendible reflector card and
diffuser, it has almost unlimited options
for creativity of directional lighting.
Thanks to the slave function, the 48
AF-1 digital can even be used deta-
ched from the camera. In the respec-
tive camera-specific wireless TTL
mode, it can thus be used as a slave
unit - an outstanding flash unit for
committed amateur photographers.
