RSchade Senior Member 284 posts Joined Dec 2004 Location: PA More info | Jan 05, 2011 14:05 | #1 I am looking for a power alternative for a Metz 54 flash gun. Preferably one that it rechargeable but also could be one that has the ability to use AA or D batteries. I see that canon and Nikon have ones that have 4-6 batteries. Canon; 6D, 60D, 28 f/2.8 IS, 35 f/2.0 IS, 50 f/1.8 and 1.4, 28-70Lf/2.8, 85 f/1.8, 135Lf/2.0, ST-E2, 580ex

Purchased used, they can be fairly inexpensive, as Quantum batteries have lost favor with the current generation of photographers because of battery pack by Canon for Canon flash. Considering the expense of periodic replacement of NiMH battery sets, the lead acid self-replaceable battery life of the Quantum Turbo is very inexpensive.

Jan 05, 2011 17:31 | #5 Thanks but it appears that used does not exactly mean inexpensive. A quick search seems to eat a hole in the pocket rather quickly. Nothing less than 200.00 out there and the chord is aground 40.00. Canon; 6D, 60D, 28 f/2.8 IS, 35 f/2.0 IS, 50 f/1.8 and 1.4, 28-70Lf/2.8, 85 f/1.8, 135Lf/2.0, ST-E2, 580ex

I googled it and found this photo on flickr. It was sort of like this. http://farm4.static.flickr.com …66533106_222a7941f2_o.jpg Canon 5D & 40D | 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS | 16-35mm f/2.8 L | 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 | 50mm f/1.8
