Re: Re; Metz use with Samsung nx range

I just tested a new, U.S. version of the Galaxy NX with a brand new Metz 44 AF-1 (for Samsung NX) and it appears to work perfectly!

I also tested it out with a ProMaster TTL off camera sync core (for Samsung NX), and it works with no issues I can find.

Anyone tried the Triopo R19?

Just curious.

These flashes sell for around $65 on Ebay.

Hey there, I am looking to buy a Metz AF44 for my NX300 but would like to know which functions don't operate with the camera? Does the modelling light function work and does the AF assist work? My NX300 struggles to focus in low light and I am hoping that the flash will help with this?
Thanks ever so much,
Martin.

Hi there Martin, you do know that the NX300 has its own Af assist light don't you?

Hmm, that's true, but depending on what distance you need the NX one can be too weak.  I don't have the Metz though, so no idea if the modelling light works.

Re: Re; Metz use with Samsung nx range

I'm interested in Metz 44 AF-1 as well, but my question is do I really need the one for Samsung specifically for NX300?  I guess I don't know the intricacies of the flash so I don't know what functions in the flash I need or don't need.  I just assumed that when you attach and if it flashes than it's all good. lol. I had tried friend of mines flash he used for his Nikon and that worked so much better than stock flash so that's why I started looking for the flash.  I don't remember what flash his was, but all I remember is that it had lcd screen and lots of control.
