Interesting that your HK prices are high. Where did you buy your stuff from?

quick question guys, if its the same as the other mounts, the flash head zooms from 18-50mm?, so with direct flash @ 14mm can we expect some light falloff?

I think they meant 18-50mm in 35mm terms, this means it is 9mm-25mm in Four Thirds terms. Understand? So there will only be slight fall off for 8mm fisheye and the 7-14mm ultra (ridiculous) wide...

Flip down the wide-angle diffuser...

Or bounce the flash to diffuse the light and use the secondary flash to shoot some light forwards for balance and catchlights.

If you can afford the 7-14mm you can probably afford a couple more flashed to trigger in tandem :sweatsm:

Hmm... sometimes i really think that Since we need both but budget only allow one of them first... shall i just buy the 50mm f2 first?? So we can enjoy the lens, take more nice pic with it...

We r not sure need to wait till when for Metz to released this flash.. also after it is released, we also not sure is there any bug/software problem need to be corrected.. so must wait again.......
if got patient, maybe we can even wait for the Olympus to release the new flash first then we can compare both... ha ha... dunno what to do .. dunno what to do.... shall we wait shall we wait??? ha ha...
