Metz mecablitz 45 CT-5 Handle Flash

The Metz mecablitz 45 CT-5 is a powerful handle-mount flash with a distinctive design. It can be held alongside the camera or attached using a suitable bracket. Its large flash head and high light output make it suitable for reportage photography, portraits and location work.

The flash features an adjustable head that allows light to be bounced off a ceiling or wall in suitable conditions, producing softer and more natural-looking illumination than direct flash. An additional secondary reflector provides fill light when using bounced flash, helping to balance the lighting on the subject.

The 45 CT-5 offers automatic exposure control with six selectable aperture settings, as well as manual operation. With a guide number of 45 at ISO 100, it provides substantial light output for a wide range of photographic applications. The unit can be powered by a replaceable battery holder or a compatible rechargeable battery, depending on the accessories available.

This classic Metz flash is suitable for photographers working with vintage film cameras and other compatible camera systems. The appropriate synchronisation cable or adapter depends on the camera being used. The operating condition and included accessories have not been specified and should be checked separately.
