This is a fact guys, there is this no stock and Metz has no plans to produce more. If we make a list for group buy could make them produce some, but I'm sure it will be overpriced. The last pieces sold for about 200 euros. If someone wants it so much could wait for the price of second hand to drop and that's what I'm going to do. Maybe I'll get a chance to find a Samsung SEF580 in a better price.

200€/$£ is an ok price for such a good flash (that can not be found elsewhere anyway!), the Canon version is a bit less expensive (around 30€ less?1), so I do not thing is such a big problem. The Samsung is nearing 500€, is it worth such a huge price?

I do not see the NX market to crush anytime soon, it never happened, and it will never will. In the time I could find cheap used flashes, they will be over used already, and I probably use my NX system less and less. New NX stuff will keep their prices for a long long time (that means, for a couple of years at least!).

If the only worth getting flashes in the market are the expensive Samsung ones, I do not see anyone holding a new one, to sell for less. If there is demand (and there should be, as new cameras are still sold, even for 1399$ from Germany) the price can go slightly up, as well, at least for the next year.
