Ah, my bad. I did not even realize there was a non-dedicated version of the 4 that used the dedicated feet -- what is the difference between it and the 3?I'm using the 54MZ 4i with the Mamiya/Phase AFDIII body just fine. Mine is the non-dedicated version so that I can change the SCA adaptor and then use the same flash with my Hassy, Leica, or Mamiya.
Correct. If I remember correctly they have some dedicated versions for the big sellers like Nikon and Canon, which do not have interchangeable SCA adaptors.AFAIK, the DEDICATED Metz units do not allow for changing the feet. The SCA or universal versions of the flashes do.
Ben, this is erroneous, sorry. I have a 54MZ3 with the Mamiya foot and I get full TTL with EV comp on my AFD2/3 bodies and it works as advertised with my P45+ back. (also note there are a few *DEDICATED* versions of the MZ4's that do not allow for interchanging SCA feet )Woops, wait a sec, there isn't any TTL for digital, no film plane to read off unless they are doing something very clever. I think we're back to auto flash and as such, a different flash gun would IMO be a better idea.

Barry, that is good clarification, thanks for sharing it.
Cheers,
