GENERAL INFORMATION
Metz 15MS-1. Digital ring flash, Macro Slave. The Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital flash provides wireless flash operation for close-up macro shots via two separate reflectors. In this way, the innovative ring flash for macro shots guarantees balanced and accurate lighting, while opening up new creative possibilities in the area of very close-up macro shots.
With the help of individual variable reflectors (0° –20°) and their precise light distribution, creativity no longer knows any limits. Creating effective lighting tones has never been easier, no matter the subject. And all this combined with exceptional ease of use – the Metz mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital automatically provides the right level of illumination very reliably and with high precision – all thanks to the wireless TTL* function. In addition, the sharp dot matrix display makes operating the mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital even easier. Those looking for even more creative control can refer to the manual settings of the mecablitz 15 MS-1 and vary the light output via the six partial intensity settings.
*To use this flash in remote TTL mode, a master flash is required. Depending on the camera manufacturer and model, the camera’s built-in flash or the external flash you use should have TTL remote flash control. For example, compatible flashes with this function are, among others, the Metz 58 AF-2 and Metz 52 AF-1).
