I bought for the Mecablitz 44 AF-1 Metz this soft case, because just the way should have a good flash unit in a bag and unfortunately the purchase was not there. This is also the reason for the deduction of points - I'm just sometimes bitchy because my cash cow has once again denied his services to me. A tip: I stuffed a small cut-out piece of an old mouse pads (so'n rubber thing) down into his pocket and now believe that the contact shoe of the flash is really somewhat protected better. The flash itself fits perfectly into the pocket. Protection shall exercise the pocket but rather only against dust and curious glances. I let myself be happy to present a case test - I myself try to avoid this. Buy recommendation? Well, to be honest I have found nothing better.
