Is that your take?
I have not noticed any difference in power. The biggest difference that I've noticed is that if I set the metz in a mode, it will stay in that mode and not change into P-TTL because it feels that I don't know what I want and really ought to let the camera make all of the decisions for me. The Metz is also just slightly smaller, and has a second flash on the front in addition to the swivel head. The Metz also has a cool "strobe mode" where you tell it how many flashes to make, and at what frequency. I haven't had a chance to play with that, but it looks like fun. It does look like they have solved some of the QC issues with the Younguo, so the next time I buy speedlights I might get a couple of them, the internal radio trigger looks very handy, and they are a lot less expensive than the metz. > > Paul > > > >> > >> Paul > >> -- > >> PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > >> [email protected] > >> http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > >> to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and > >> follow the directions. > > > > -- > > Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc > > > > > > -- > > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > > [email protected] > > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and > > follow the directions. > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
