I have a 550D and was today sold a Metz 44 AF-1 flash gun, was told by the salesman that this gun would work as an off the camera slave without the need for a flash unit on the camera's hot shoe.
I have tried and tried to get it to flash remotely but it just refuses.
I have checked on the internet and found that the gun does not require a master flash on the camera to activate it.
Can anyone tell me for sure if this setup should work or not.
Thanks.
