I've never used a Metz, but I used to have a Cullman with a second reflector.
I found this handy. Not for catch light, but to avoid raccoon eyes
when bouncing flash from above the subject.

I have both of these also; I'd find it hard to split them, they both perform
well.
The secondary reflector is handy for catchlights, esp. when you can't use
the bounce card thing because you're bouncing off a wall at an odd angle.
I don't really find either menu system particularly more

Hi All,
I was trying to place an order for a Pentax AF 540 FGZ flash, when

I've never had experience with any Metz flashes.
Two main concerns that I have:
1. From what I read, all control is done via soft buttons, - e.g.

I haven't used the new USB Metz flashes, so can't comment on AF58
usability, but I used several of the earlier big (40MZ.., 54MZ..) models
on Pentax
Over here the Metz is cheaper than the Pentax.
I have both because I had to buy a replacement for the Pentax, then
got the Pentax repaired anyway.
1. Can't say the menu stuff bothers me. Depends on how much you need to fiddle.
2. I have only used it on K-7. It works fine there.
