THANKS PAUL.
I know Pentax makes great quality flash units. I used to have the old AF
500 FTZ which is built like a tank and beautifully designed. Unfortunately
this is a ttl only unit. I'm supprised to hera about problems with the$
locking mechanism.

The Metz 58-1 costs appr. 40 USD less than the AF 540FGZ , but less
powerfull (only GN 42). In Germany the Metz is 280 Euro, the Pentax is 320
USD.


Regards
Jens
