Gentle fellows, I own a Metz 45 CT-5 hammerhead flash and, since I recently purchased a Nikon F3 which has a flash TTL metering feature, I thought it would make sense to buy Metz' specific cable for Nikon F3's proprietary flash socket, and enjoy the flash TTL metering feature offered by the F3.
However, I could not assess if I would actually get TTL metering, I could only found partial information about what is needed and what each component will offer:
- Metz 45 CT-5 user's manual does not mention TTL metering anywhere (or at least I couldn't find it mentioned);
- here it is specified that 45 CT-5 offers limited TTL metering functions with "some cameras" (which ones?);
- here I deduced that model SCA 344 is a specific Metz connector for the F3 camera (but I ignore if there are others).
Nowhere I could positively read that by connecting the 45 CT-5 to the F3 with the SCA 344 cable and connector I will get flash TTL metering performed.
Does anyone have direct experience, or perhaps owns some document which I couldn't find on the internet, and can assess wether TTL metering will or will not work?
Thank you very much.
