I don't think anyone is harder on gear than I am. The Metz 58 is almost the exact same strobe as the sf58.

I know this (that metz flashes are recycled). And I'm saying it's not a well built flash. Not anywhere near the build quality of the EX-580 (600 etc Canon flash) or the Nikon SB-910. Or even the HVL whatever they're called Sony flashes (both big and small).
I don't know why your findings don't match mine. And I've had more then one unit, so it's not like I got a defective one.

I would beg to differ. I actually preferred the Metz over the 580. The foot on my 580 broke 3 or 4 times. Not once on the Metz.
Just say'n.

The Metz flashes have an excellent auto mode as well, I much prefer that over any of the E-TTL implementations, which seem to run on the "box of chocolates" philosophy.

Ron I see your young one follows the rules very well. No Jumping No Diving From The Peer. But realizes the sign doesn't say anything about climbing.
I think that image you captured is one of those classic moments. Great capture.

Never had a problem with the foot on either flash. Just the floppy head on both my Metz/Leica flashes.
Though I know the old Metz flashes had tons of foot problems, as they were made of plastic.
Oh and a quick google search will show I'm not the only one that has had problems with loose heads on the metz 58 flash.
But whatever, glad yours works for you.

On the 102nd floor of the new World Trade Center- New York
(Leica X113)- Some how, I like Vivid with low saturation profile if I shoot JPEGs for landscapes and architectures.
I left my Sony A7II system at home and bring only X113 as one camera only during my East Coast vacation last month.

There's a megafire about 40 miles to the west....
Desperate Future by unoh7, ZM 18
This some of the oldest rock you will ever see:
Steep Angles by unoh7, 75 RIT @ f/6.7
Dikes by unoh7, 135 APO
Watch Your Step by unoh7, 135 APO
Smoky Outlook by unoh7, 75 RIT
It's all 1.5 Billion year old metamorphic rock which is unique to this particular local range. Of course there are spots on earth with much much older rock....but not so many

Great images as always. guys.
A little update:
Finally bought a M240 from Leica Store, I really missed M after almost a year without it After about week of using it, I have to say I absolutely love it. I wouldn't expect I will like it so much. Everything seems improved. I even slightly prefer its color to S007 I had.(very similar though) There is no way I will be back to M9 or M9P here. I am glad I made a right choice about this and M9P.
Shutter itself is good enough reason for me to upgrade. It is absolutely wonderful, an essential for capture the moment of life. For me, able to focus and capture a few shots continuously without hiccup is important. M240 has big improvement over M9 here.
And the frame line is way more clear. I love RED color 50lux ASPH is still the best standard lens overall to me, no question about that.
Sorry, no photo at this time.
Keep all good work coming. Cheers.

Edward, thanks I know I need post a few photo to prove what I said. It has only been with me less than a week, so all family document stuff, but at the same time you would expect from everyday life without ideal lighting. and I know I like what I see.
50lux
28cron
75 Summarit
Should be all WO under different light and condition ISO vary from 200 to 1600. I know lots of images but give you an idea why I like the file.
Banding in shadow is definitly there at ISO3200 above, even shown in limited images I took so far, but I really don't mind. I absolutely love BW conversion of M240 file, almost no need PP. I will post a few latter. So far, other than it won't give me the magic color S006 give me under certain condition, I don't feel I miss anything. Image review is way faster. Shutter is snap and quiet, lag is minimal. Viewfinder is bright. Low light performance is big plus, not as fancy as Sonikon, but it is enough. Weight is minor con, but at the same time build seem a step above than M9. 50lux is still overall THE BEST, the more new lenses show up, the more valid this statement is, really. TO ME AT LEAST!
