General Notes: | |||
1.) | I do my best to list every flashlight here, that features at least TTL and is dedicated to Canon EOS. Speedlites without TTL are not listed, or they are in some exceptions marked in an appropriate way (X-Contact for example). Flashes that are not in this list are most probably not featuring one of the TTL modes supported by Canon EOS. However, nobody's perfect. If I am missing something here, let me know. | ||
2.) | Metz remote system is not compatible with Canon or Sigma (exceptions: MB 15 MS-1, 44AF-1 Digital, 48 + 50AF-1 and 58 AF-1 + 2, which are in turn again not compatible with Metz's old remote system). | ||
3.) | JFYI, the meaning of series shorties: AF as usually means auto focus, CT means computer thyristor (CT series was succeeded by the CL series), MZ means Motor Zoom (MZ flashes are all part of the SCA system). Finally just a guess, CS might well stand for Computer Slave, MS for Macro Slave. | ||
4.) | Metz have a production contract with Tumax for the entry level models of 20's, 24's and 36's series, incl. MB 24 AF-1 and MB 36 AF-5 Digitals. According to Metz, in contrary to some www rumors, the MB 28 CS-2 is truly Made in Germany. However, Metz says in charge for all things related to product development, quality management and firmware writing also for these models. Unlike normal rebadges you will not find Metz flashes with Tumax or other brand printed on it in the same quality. | ||
5.) | A massive list of vintage and some recent flashes with trigger voltage measurements can be found here. Read the introduction, because wrong understanding can damage your camera. | ||
6.) | For the ring flash units: If I write "compatible with [some filter size]", I mean these adapters are/were included in the original package. Just use another ad. for differing sizes. | ||
