Metz made an adapter/converter that makes it possible to use SCA500 flashes with SCA300 adapters. Mine is called SCA 500C M1 (which is required for using SCA 374/2AF M1 (red focusing light) and the Metz 45 CT-5 Flash on my PZ-1/PZ-1p).
I strictly remember paying 300 USD for the adapter-combo (SCA 374/2AF M1 + SCA 500C). This money would buy you a lot of used flash, wouldn't it? German fotoMAGAZIN has a second hand price list, stating prices for all used Metz flashes between 50 and 185USD.

During eighties such kits were being provided by Metz but at that time i did not have the LX and C/Y gears to use with SCA 500C. Unfortunately Metz and dealer/agent for Pakistan are now unable to upgrade the flashes. I intend to use these workhorses for Pentax LX/ZX5 with SCA 372 and for C/Y AX/103P with SCA 380. Seeking guidance/advice from my Pentax colleagues if such kit was installed by a member and still this job is being carried out by a techanician in their vicinity Gill
