Hi Neil You might like to try this guy also - he's pretty good, and if you are in N America,.

Fortunately, the flash does seem to work with the R5 using the 351 adapter from my 45CL-4, so eventually I can figure this thing out, but accurate information would be useful. The Metz site denies the existence of this model, and the manuals for the 40 mz-1 & 40 mz-3 both differ from this particular model's control layout, and so far my web searches have not been fruitful. TIA Neil ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2006 07:57:57 -0800 From: David Young <telyt@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [LRflex] The Hatrack While waiting for my R8+DMR to be returned (again!) from Solms, I dug out the ol' SL for some exercise.... This shot, heavily cropped and hand held with the 80~200/f4 Vario Elmar and 2x converter, was shot on Fuji Superia, the only film available in my small town! See: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/ and click on "featured photo". As always, comments and criticism welcome. Thanks for looking.

I've had no luck with the Metz 40 mz-2 manual either. However, I did check my own R5 manual (http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/) and the 351 is the correct adapter for the Metz to R5. So far, so good. Best of luck with your hunt!

And the fact that it's a really good-looking image in spite of factors that some folks fear (and in some folk's cases, they should) like Cropping! and Extenders! and Zooms! and Pushed Film! and Handholding! is a tribute to both you and your gear. I, too, took one of the SL's out for a walk a few weeks ago (in hand, with the 60 Macro-Elmarit and Provia 100 on a shoot where the main axe was a 20D & 400 Telyt on pod) and the snap with the most attractive qualities for me ended up coming from the SL/Film rig. In fact, I shot the same subject with the Big Rig (yeah, I know, "whaddya expect from that Canon pea-shooter", etc.) But the film version, even taking into account what looked to me like more intrinsic contrast & saturation, seemed to have more nuance of color & texture (in a lucky situation where the color temperature happened to be right up the film's alley.) It also survived the usual losses in scanning which have sometimes led me to give up on posting something from a good-looking 'chrome. http://www.pbase.com/bobsworld/image/70920132 While we're at it, I should say that I've been liking this "eye form" thing (both horizontal & vertical) where the subject sorta swells up in the middle and tapers away at the ends; here's a coupla more examples: http://www.pbase.com/bobsworld/image/71462159 and this one (with the 60 Macro on the pod-mounted 20D) http://www.pbase.com/bobsworld/image/72282591 That's all for now...
