Which Flash for NX30?

Hi there! I have an NX30 and am currently searching for a compatible flash.
I noticed that the original Samsung flashs are hard to get in 2020. As I am a student my budget is rather narrow and I was planning to get a Metz 44 AF-2 or AF-1 second-hand. Unsurprisingly i cannot find the Metz flash suitable for Samsung shoes, can anybody tell if it is safe to use the Metz 44 for e.g. a Canon on the NX30? Is it correct that the flash will only work manually?
Or is there any other suggestion for a rather cheap flash for the NX30?
As a beginner I am thankful for any advice!

Re: Which Flash for NX30?

For manual use any new type of flash with one pin hot shoe can work. Older manual flashes some times can damage the sircuit of the camera. As for TTL flashes most powerful are the Samsung SEF580A, the Metz 44-af1 and the Metz 44-af2. The Samsung SEF580A and the Metz 44-af2 have also HSS, something that the Metz 44-af1 doesn't have. The point is that I don't know if Samsung NX30 has HSS because I don't own it, so if it doesn't have HSS the only flash that you have to look for is the Metz 44-af1 just because it's cheaper among the others.
