I never realized that Metz was expensive. In Denmark a Pentax FA500FTZ used to cost (mine) 800-1000$ - it's a very nice and a very high quality flash.
A Mecablitz (Metz flash) cost about half of that - a 54 MZ 3 is about 300 Euro in Germany - about 375 $. Considering the quality, I'd say it's it's very good value for money. (I have an old Metz flash (45 CT 1), still working exactly like the day I got it in 1981).

Given the reports we've had about the problems DSLRs have with flash, I certainly wouldn't buy one before seeing thorough test reports. Joe
