Preface:
If you read this review, you are buying on the way, the correct flash for your A58, A7 etc with MI-ISO-Shoe!
Does it to you does not indicate any "MI-ISO-Shoe" compatible flash to buy, the support is not your brand, just because then the center contact tangent to your camera. The whole can be operated only when the built-in flash of your camera is turned on, otherwise the camera does not recognize him and your display is dark. This has the consequence that you immeasurably annoyed and flashed in the darkness.
This is not a counter-advertising, but I had ordered a Yongnuo YN-560 III flash in which I unfortunately had the experience described above, because I did not want to spend much money AND ME ON INTERNET FORUMS HAVE LEFT !!!. Sch ****, I never do again ...
Well, the Mecablitz Metz cost almost 3 times the rival company from China, but you get an immense amount of money, it is worth it and you have a lot of fun! I can put any friend of Photography warmly, to opt for the Mecablitz when it is once again in the head: "Sony ISO flash that ?!"
You will be surprised at first, why not, as with other manufacturers, a mini-display has been installed.
Reason: you do not need at all. While namely other manufacturers had to mill through the manual in English or Chinese for several hours in order to properly operate the flash, the Mecablitz is very manageable and simply designed. The result is a very simple operation.
The flash flashes more than adequate if you do not just want to scan from a boat the Titanic in the ocean. Rooms are super lit, the flash can be swiveled and the integrated retractable diffuser ensures that you can not lose it on the road.
(Manually to a meter I have flashed my girlfriend on 1/1 indirectly. Before the second photo then I told her to look into the lens, and she just said she can still see the first flash Do not.. War stupid. She was pretty angry. Hihi.
Personally, I'm super happy with the Mecablitz, he just sits next to me on the sofa and I fondle him. :))
