[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 408918, member: 12496"] Metz was very good, they have made flashes longer than Nikon. But this news surely affects the future: [url=http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/19/metz-bankruptcy-idUSL6N0T94Q320141119]German TV maker Metz files for insolvency | Reuters[/url] Flash is a little difficult, especially TTL. There are so many factors affecting it. Inverse square law is a biggie, not affecting the sunlight we see here. There are also additional camera controls for it. Beginners just see that the flash can be a little off, and without understanding, they blame the wrong reasons. The TTL flash just does what the camera metering dictates, hopefully correctly, but for the most part, it just flashes.
