I doubt the little flash is not power controlled. I have the PZ-1 and the same 
flash and SCA adapter as you have. The filters for the small flash are for 
controlling the ratio of light between the main flash and the little one, it 
makes contrast control not necessary, as it is done by the Metz flash entirely, 
that is why I never used contrast control.
