I have not tried the GP 2700 batteries as I am in the States. Have you tried other LSD batteries such as eneloop or Duracell? Also have you tried using regular alkaline batteries and see if you get the same results?

They are empty after 2 shots (GP 2700). I have a Nikon D7000 camera. The flashlight is now useless for me.
Anyone faces the same problem?

I have a Metz 58AF-1, really enjoy the nice color and durability that turned me away from Canon flashes.

My question is: Doesn’t the Metz 58AF in your test need to be set on HSS so the PW can properly expose with the Metz? These shots look exactly like my HSS test results with the HSS turned off. As I understand it, the PW is basically just a glorified “wireless cable” from the camera hot shoe to the flash, so I would expect the HSS on the Metz would need to be turned on.

My SB-800 (which I use with my D-300 and D-700 is giving meissues. instead of having it repaired, I wanted to look for a replacement and use the SB-800 as a slave.
didn’t think there was a difference in power between the 800, 900 and the Metz 58 AF

I was going to stay with Nikon, but always felt (especialy during the medium format film wedding days) that Metz was a hi quality product. I woul dlike a round reflector, but quantum too expensive a hot shoe flash.

thanks again for the review.

Love Leica lenses but thinking of a Zeiss 35 f-2 for my D-700

Just for that I will actually do a comparison test using the FlexTT5 and the Metz vs. a SB-900. Look for that shortly.

I have the same set up. I would be interested in finding out how you get onwith high speed syncing above 1/400th? Are you having any problems?
