New Metz Mecablitz 48 AF-1 digital follows in footsteps of award-winning 58 AF-1
Ramsey, NJ (October 18, 2007) � Metz has done it again! Hot off the heels of its award-winning Mecablitz 58 AF-1 digital, the world leading manufacturer of high-performance flash technology is proud to launch its second USB upgradeable wireless flash - the Mecablitz 48 AF-1 digital. Packed with many of the same, impressive features as its big brother, the 48 AF-1 will be showcased at this year�s 2007 PhotoPlus Expo and sets the bar even higher for innovation and quality among the competition. Also launching at PhotoPlus 2007 are the 58 AF-1OP for Olympus/Panasonic and the 58 AF-1PS for Pentax/Samsung, which extend the range for the 58 AF-1 family.
State-of-the-art, the 48 AF-1 allows photographers to stay current and effortlessly make firmware updates via the Internet. Previously, flash units needed to be packaged and sent away for servicing in order to be updated with the latest software from camera manufacturers. With the Metz USB interface, shooters can now make such updates from their own PCs, ensuring that they will have the most up to date and highest performing flash for each shot and that they will never have to be without a flash.
The 48 AF-1 is fully compatible with TTL digital remote systems and can also be operated as a TTL slave unit that can be controlled by the camera's built-in commander mode, a manufacturer�s flash with master capabilities, or from a Metz 58 AF-1. The 48 AF-1 also features an auto zoom head from 24-105mm that can be set to match the camera�s sensor, a full bounce and swivel reflector head, a built-in wide angle diffuser for 18mm coverage, and of course, full manual control with 12 partial light output levels.
The flash features a powerful guide number of 158 and for added versatility, is powered by four, readily available AA batteries. The 48 AF-1 is currently available for Canon (48 AF-1 C) and Nikon (48 AF-1 N). The 48 AF-1 C is designed to support Canon�s E-TTL and E-TTL II technology and the 48 AF-1 N supports Nikon�s i-TTL and D-TTL Technology.
