my point was if you are convert over for Canon use and have to spend some money doing so, spend it on a better unit.

Understood. I was pointing out the advantage of having a flash unit which could be readily converted from one brand to another. Some of us (me) use the Metz 54 with three differerent brands of cameras. You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

The 5D does not support TTL flash control, TTL fill-in flash control nor full auto flash mode/program flash. Module on the way back to B&H and Flash will be up for sale soon. TTL mode is for film cameras only. You should have been able to alter the 'TTL' setting with the thumbwheel, until it said 'eTTL' which the 5D would support!

No control. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or if their is a problem elsewhere. http://www.ronbaileyphotography.com/

Wilt Reader's Digest Condensed version of War and Peace [POTN Vol 1] More info | Jul 26, 2008 05:48 | #24 Hmmm, odd. My 54MZ-4 with 3102 M3 module works perfectly for my 20D or 40D in ETTL mode. What functionality is missing from the 'would still fire the flash but that is all'...what do you mean by that? Do you mean 'triggers only' but does not regulate the power down for proper exposure...and the flash says 'eTTL' (not 'TTL')'? You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

That's right, it triggers only but does not regulate the power for proper exposure. It says ETTL on the flash. http://www.ronbaileyphotography.com/
