Get a Cactus V4 they work very well and service is good.

Dutch shop link
I've no idea if any English shop has them
But your Metz 48 can work wireless without any of these things, it involves your build-in pop-up flash to trigger the Metz 48, you know that can be done right.

Why no?
Only with close up work you see the pop up flash in your photo, or in some ones eyes.

Ah okay ^^;
Well at least your Samsung should work the same as my camera but I've no idea about your flash.
You should get this update (v1.30) if you haven't link
it allows you to use the pop-up flash as "controller" that way it shouldn't get much if any flash in the photo.
I've no idea how your flash work so try to find a way to set it on wireless.
When you've found that.
- put the flash on the camera
- turn the camera on
- select in the FN menu (shortcut menu where you can select your shutter, white balance, ISO and flash) select there flash and then select wireless flash and don't press any other buttons.
- in the top display you now see ch 1,2,3 or 4 those are the digital channels that are used for communication with your flash, just select one with your scroll wheel on the back and press the shutter to confirm.
- if everything is al right your flash has automaticly taken over the channel and your flash should now work wireless.
- the only limitation you have is that it doesn't work with HSS (high shutter sync) all the other flash modes on your Metz 48 can be used.
Also you don't need to do this everytime, your camera and flash will remember the channel so you can simply set them both on and on wireless flash and they should work straight away.
I hope this does it for you, I'm sure someone with a Metz 48 can help you with the rest.

I'm pretty sure that there is a setting that will still enable the pop up flash to act as a trigger but does not involve the pop up firing. In the custom menu set the wireless flash to 'commander' or something like that - I can't quite remember..

Yes indeed but with close up shots you're simply to close to the subject and then the flash even set to trigger (controller is the word) will contribute to the scene, with normal shooting it will not have any or very minimal effect on your photo.
Besides trigger/controller you've the options master and slave.
