METZ Mecablitz 36 AF-5 Digital Flashgun - OLYMPUS & PANASONIC

The METZ Mecablitz 36 AF-5 Digital Flashgun is very simple to use. It has a vertically tilting swivel reflector which gives creative illumination options and bouncing flash. It also has a manually adjustable zoom reflector.

Great benefit can be drawn from the illumination angle in every situation by adjusting the reflector specifically to the various focal lengths (28/50/85). The view finder has a flash-readiness indicator (subject to camera) to give additional information. Fill-in flash (subject to camera) presents no problem for the mecablitz 36 AF-5 digital because of its GN 36. With its integrated AF flash metering, the flash can function effectively as a focusing tool in difficult lighting conditions.
