Re: [Leica] Metz 40 MZ3i out of production, was: New Metz mecablitz 54 MZ-3

Even worse -- the new 40 AF-4 flash doesn't take the SCA system, so no Leica
TTL !!!!  From the link
http://www.metz.de/mecablitz/eng/produkte/m_meca_gb_40AF4.html , click on
Technical Details.  You buy individual models for CNM.  Apparently, the only
shoe-mounted SCA units are the 32-z1, 32-mz3, and 54 mz-3.

To our European brothers, are there any other companies using the SCA 3000
system which may not be imported to the US?  Perhaps Cullman, Agfa, Osram,
Braun?
