Samsung NX10 flash options

Hi there, new to the forum, but not to NX10 ownership. I want to buy a remote (cabled) flash setup for my NX10 and am looking at a metz 44 af-1 in NX fitment.

Will a cheap 1.4m ttl NX hotshoe cable, although specifically described as being for samsung flashguns, work with the metz flash?

Thanks in advance,

Hugh

Re: Samsung NX10 flash options

It should work fine, they may have some manufacturing tolerance issues though, so be prepared to do some slight modding to make it fit the shoe right or ask for a replacement. Mine was perfectly fine though but some others on here had some trouble. We're talking about the JJC cable, right? It's the only TTL cable for NX I know of, the others are for the old Samsung that was a rebranded Pentax.

I have JJC remote wired flash cord and it works with every flash I have, NX TTL or manual, including ancient Minolta, as well as wireless transceivers I tried just for fun. It's a bit stiff (the cord) in beginning but loosens with use. No issues with tolerances, fits perfectly on both ends.

Same experience for me, there were some others on here that had some problems though.

Yes, the JJC cable. Thanks everyone for the input, I've ordered the flash and cable today.
