A NEW STAR IN THE COMPACT FLASH FIRMAMENT: Sleek in appearance, throws light in the areas where you need it, self-explanatory and extremely powerful. Created by on of the leading industry designers in Germany. Equipped with innovative developments, the Metz mecablitz 58 AF-1 digital offers cutting edge secondary reflector technology, high-performance energy management, the latest generation of multi-zone AF measurement flash, a reflector system fully capable of swiveling, current special functions, USB interface for updating software via the Internet and much more.An additional plus for all those who want to use the 58 AF-1 digital apart from the camera: the new flash can even be used wirelessly with the Nikon i-TTL remote system thanks to the integrated slave trigger unit. The 58 AF-1 N Digital offers i-TTL and D-TTL for Nikon.
Due to its high GN of 191 (ft.) at ISO 100/21ยบ and 105 mm focal length, the 58 AF-1 digital is not only especially powerful but also can be used for indirect flash lighting to great effect. For the first time Metz integrated a reflector card that can be flipped open into its vertically tilting and horizontally swiveling reflector. In addition the 'Bounce diffuser 54-23' is available as an optional accessory. Using the integrated secondary reflector, additional brilliance can be achieved with this flash technology in close-up areas. The integrated slave trigger unit allows the 58 AF-1 to be implemented separately.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE POWER PACK P 76 The high-performance power pack P 76 can also be used with the 58 AF-1 digital, for clearly increased flash output and reduced flash recycle time. This flash power is available for all types of use in connection with e V 58 cable.
