Hi, I'm looking to buy a flash unit to pair to my k5 and the metz 44 keeps cropping up. I'm new to photography and have never used a separate flash unit.
£130 is about my limit at the moment.
I'm hoping to use it to improve macro results, indoor photography and infill flash when needed.

Also, if anyone here has a unit that would suit my needs that they are considering selling then I may be interested.

Thanks guys.

Darren

Forget that last question, I've just found the answer. I now believe this is normal .

Hi Philip, thanks for that. I've just had a play with it and that seems to make sense. Are you able to select the focus type? I know it's manual focus only, but I don't seem to be able to change the focus area from spot focus. I assume this is normal with a manual focus converter?

Sorry, just thought of another scenario.
If I attach to my 60-250 lens then I presume I choose 500mm?

Thanks again.

Thank you David.

When fitted to my da 55 I don't have the option of 110mm so am I better off choosing 120 or 100mm ?

Thanks.

Hi guys, I've just received delivery of my used lens as per title. I have a couple of questions that hopefully one of you people will know the answer to.

1. When I switch the camera on it asks for the focal length. Is this the focal length of the lens attached to the converter or the combined length ie 2x the length of the lens attached.

2. There are a series of numbers around the focus ring. One scale written in white and the other in green. What do these numbers refer to? And how do I use them for setting up?

I hope the 2nd question makes sense.

Cheers, Darren
