Three SCA adapter modules fit the same flash. Can't beat that. I primarily use the SB800 on my Nikons. I'll have to compare that to the Metz. The M8 metering is just center weighted average. No spot metering. It seems to be very good though. Thanks, Len On Mar 5, 2007, at 12:38 AM, Jeff S. Matsler wrote: > Yep. And the 54MZ -4 can't be beat.
