Frederic, If you want to use the electronic communication function between camera and flash, you require a Rollei SCA 356 adapter and any flashgun which will take the SCA modules. See http://www.metz.de/en/photo-electronics/sca-adapter.html then 'Archive with further flash units'. This will tell you which Metz flash guns are compatible. Note: The handle mount Metz 45 guns are of two versions; the early ones 45CT* (*=1 to 5) which take a special Metz made C70 adapter although some of the later ones did use the SCA adapter. You must check the serial number of the flash. However, this is not always reliable either because some of the earlier ones could be converted at a later date. The later 45CL* (*=1 to 4) (current model) take the Rollei made SCA356 adapter. The '*' refers to the flash model number and the functions available on it; i.e. '1' was the basic model; '4' has a sub flash etc. With the SL66E and one of these flashguns with adapter, you will only get confirmation of flash ready and flash exposure 'OK' in the viewfinder. You have to manually set the shutter speed and aperture on the camera. The Rollei Flashmeter FM1 could be used with the SL66E to give a flash meter reading off the film plane when using studio flash etc (see Rollei brochures for further details).

I heard the maximum sync time is 1/30 I found some old Metz flashes in a shop.
