Hello Markus I always wanted to make such a comparison myself. So I will - soon. I don't believe there's any visible difference, though. Metz flashes are very accurate - even af VERY small distances. But of course my camera can do Matrix metering or Center Weighted metering, which the flash can't. And if you use filters, converters etc. with the lens, you'll have to do some math to get the exposure right.
IMHO TTL flash is one of the most important photographic inventions in latest decades! About my photograph. It may seem uncomlicated, but I can assure you that a "normal" flash would have resulted in a completely different photograph, showing long shadows behind the subject as well as overexposure close to the camera, underexposure further away. Also, it really was too dark, to make a decent shot without a flash. I'll get back to you about the "test".

It does not look like a very difficult lightning situation for me here? Could you make a comparison photo Metz Auto versu TTL , I have a Metz 45 CT-4 and would like to see what I miss from not having the right adapter/cord for TTL flash with the SFXn.... thanks and greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Jens Bladt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Friday, March 18, 2005 5:04 PM >>To: [email protected] >>Subject: PESO: Reception >> >> >>Flash photography, PJ style. >>I just want to let you all know that I like to use two flash tubes for >>casual shooting. >>This was shot with my *ist D, Tamron 3.5-5.6/28-80mm Asperical at >>F 6.3, and >>a Metz 45 CT-5, using two flash tubes and a proper AF adapter in TTL mode. >>Main light in the cieling, and the small tube straight forward at the >>subject. >>I think the light is just fine. >> >>http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/6782063/ >> >>Regards >> >> >>Jens Bladt >>mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt >> >> >>
