As a follow up to my original post and the Metz 58 AF1, can anyone tell me if there is a way to remotely work in TTL mode? I can't find any mention anywhere of being able to do this....

Thanks!

Mike

The only way to remotely work in TTL (actually ETTL mode) with the Metz 58 AF-1 is with another 58 AF-1, a Canon 580EX or similar flash or the ST-E2 sitting on top of the camera or connected via an off-shoe cord 2 or 3 cable.

Anyone have an idea what the GN for the 58 AF-1's secondary reflector is?

The secondary reflector outputs about 15% of the total flash light (but can be adjusted from 1/1 to 1/4 power) and is used for frontal fill lighting when the main flash head is in the bounce lighting position. When the main flash head is pointed straight ahead, the secondary reflector is disabled.
