I've tried Metz 54MZ-4 with SCA-3952, but the results are not great.
Previously I've used the Canon system where I could easily get perfect fill for sunny portraits, controlled as much as I wanted with 'M' mode and +/- on the flash.
With the Phase One 645AF and this Metz flash I can get OK results for interiors without people, but fill flash of people in the sun always overexposes them terribly.
I'm sure I am doing something wrong. The Metz manual is beyond my comprehension.
So some questions:
- What is the correct method for doing that?
- Is there a better on-camera flash I can get for this body?
- Since I hardly ever use this type of flash, maybe a better solution for me would be to get a battery operated monolight - what is recommended in the entry range of that?
