Jens, as you already have a 45 CT "5" flash doing TTL you should be alright using the adapters you have on the 60 CT 2. Both flashes are from the same period, when Metz first tried TTL flashes with the SCA "500" system. This was before the SCA 300 System became popular. AFAIK the two systems are backwards compatible so that on a 45 CT "5" or 60 CT 2 you can either use the older C8x adapters or the later SCA3xx adapters together with a SCA 500 C cable. You can not however use a SCA300 flash with an old C8x adapter.

What do I need to do TTL with the 60 CT-2? Judging from Metz website, the only 60 CT flash mentioned in the adapter search engine is the 60 CT-4. I have found that my Metz 45 CT-5 does satisfying TTL with my *ist D within the interval 200-800 ASA. Above 800 ASA I don't really care about flash anyway. Most other flashes only do TTL satisfactory within the interval 200-400 ASA.
