I've read of some people using a 45/60 + hotshoe flash on camera, but haven't done it myself. Im sure someone with more info will be along though!

Wilt Reader's Digest Condensed version of War and Peace [POTN Vol 1]  More info | Nov 28, 2007 17:39 | #3 I once owned a 45CT1, but later traded up to 45CL3 and 45CL4 when I needed TTL flash control with my medium format SLR. Terrific units, more powerful than 580EX when the 580EX is zoomed to the same angle of coverage as the 45CT. Softboxes can be attached to the Metz 45 in much larger sizes than you can with the shoe-mount flash units. You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

I like the Metz more than the 580 EXII , I did some research and find out that the Quantum ( http://www.qtm.com …set=yes&res=1024&resh=768 ) battery pack can support the Metz flash , but it's cost about $500-$600 just battery and cable .The Quantums aren't cheap, but then they also recycle the flash in under a second, and they last for years and years. Mine have about 15 years on them now, and for the price I paid for new units back then, it amounts to a little over a dollar per month (and they are not at the end of the life of the batteries, yet).
