Metz 45-CL4 or 54MZ-4 ?

[snowboy]

Hi everyone in s2pro land,

I'm buying mine tomorrow with a bunch of equipment and I was hoping someone could give their opinion regarding these two flashes - the Metz 45-CL4 and the 54MZ-4. Which is better for wedding photography on the s2?

Any advice appreciated :)

Take this as NON-ADVICE.


Either one will suffice.

My perpetually drunk photog friend would always recommend a Metz potato smasher.

As for me, I would figure out how to shoot the best results with any given flash and replicate those results.

But then again, isn't the 45-CL4 the LOWEST END of the potator smashers?

Hi Mr.Stacey,

Thanks for your non-advice.
I think there's a 45-cl1. But there's plenty bigger spud smashers out there. I just prefer my flash on top of the camera rather than at the side. But I guess the difference is minimal.
Then there's the Metz 54-MZ3i and the Metz 70-MZ5 but I can only afford so much!
:D
