Canon 10D and TTL Metz 45

Hi
Did any owner of 10D try to use Metz 45 with 3102 adapter?

Hi George,
Make sure the trigger voltage does not fry your camera because old film
flash gus have a higher trigger voltage than digital ones. I would write to
the manufacurers to find out because anyone can say yes thats ok to use but
will deny everthing when you have zaped your shiny new camera.

As far as I know, the only Metz flash that will work correctly with the 10D is
the 54MZ-3..

You can probably get other Metz units to flash, but they'll flash at full power
as there will be no metering.

And.. As someone has already suggested.. Make sure the voltage at the pins
isn't too high.

 

The Metz 45 line does not do E-TTL, no matter what adapter you use. To
use this flash with the Rebel, you'll need to use "auto" or in Metz
lingo, "telecomputer" mode. In actual use, this gives little away to
E-TTL in terms of real world results.
