This looks really impressive, and a worthy competitor for the big Canon flash.
I’m interested to see that as well as dedicated to the “big two”, it is also available in Sony, Olympus, Panasonic and Pentax fit.
I am one of the pro photographers who has moved to the Fuji mirrorless system. One really weak area is the rebadged Sunpak flash; not powerful enough and old fashioned features. If Fuji REALLY want to be up there in this revolution in thinking, and accepted as a truly professional system, then they need a decent flash, even third party. I therefore find it strange that they haven’t pulled out all the stops to ensure they are included by Metz in the latest incarnation. They are missing a trick, and conceding serious market share by this omission.
