Also, if you are going to use the latest Metz 54 flash, you need the announced SCA 3502 (not yet available, probably in May), and not the SCA 3501 which won't work any longer. ====================================================================== Pascal, I only used the SCA 351 with the R8 in auto mode, not TTL mode, since I was aware of the incompatibility between the 351 interface and the R8. It worked OK. However, I've already got a 3501 now, so the problem no longer exists. I may have to replace my SCA 307A flash extension cord, though, because the 3501 takes up more pin positions on the flashgun, so that I had to remove the plastic spacer from the flashgun in order to fit the 3501. The SCA 307A cable fitted properly with the spacer in place, suggesting that it would be incompatible for connecting the 3051 to the flash (if you can follow that explanation!)
