Got my new metz 58 AF-2 the other day, and really love having the additional filler flash. The menu system is even easier to use then the my metz 48 AF-1. I am all set for dual ocf. :)

Can you access the menu for the metz 58 af-2 from the menu in your 60d like you can from a canon flash? I currently have a 430 ex2 and am trying to decide between the canon 580 ex2 and the metz 58 af2.

Yup, I use the 60D to control the flash on the hotshoe, for all the flash options. And I can EV the metz when I go off camera with the 60D when the metz is in slave mode.
