The MecaBlitz 76-MZ5 arrived next day, and seems fine, but I haven't used it for real yet since I didn't have the new series of SCA3002 control adaptors. Thank you. I haven't received the VAT invoice yet, and of course am still waiting for all the other bits ordered apart from the 'simple' battery. The unit has a few improvements on my old 60-CT-4, but is still lacking in certain basic requirements; finding out how to fit the internal battery being the most frustrating one; there's no markings on the unit or the battery, but although the operating instructions attempt to explain it, those clearly weren't writen by English speakers! The instructions for the unit are better than their previous efforts, but are still naievly written and would benefit considerably by haveing in-line pictures with each relevant piece of script, and using a better type-face. Having the instructions written in six different languages bound together in one booklet may be 'convenient' for the manufacturers, but is a pain in the posterior for users, as the bulk of the tripe can't be thrown away; I can actually read all six languages, but really English would have done for almost all users Worldwide! - except perhaps some Eastern Europeans & Orientals, but coverage for those wasn't attempted anyway. There's also no way of indicating whether the battery is fresh or spent, as existed with the 45-CT-5. The worst part is the power unit; the cretins have made it with an adaptor - supposedly to 'fit' the British 64-amp system - but have made no provision for fitting the one-amp fuse that the system demands for use with that device, so leave things open to the risk of fire when connected to a standard British mains supply that serves 16/32/40/48/64 amps! It would appear that all manufacturers are morons in that respect, and seem to presume that our systems serve merely 10-amps or less as do most of the rubbish in continental systems. Other uninformed manufacturers manage to include provision for the fuse, but defeat the object by fitting the almost useless 13-amp version! I shall have to purchase a 'WonPro' WA-7F 'travel' adaptor to use with the power-unit, so as to be able to protect against fire by applying a one-amp fuse with that device; yet another 'knobbly bit' to cart around, Metz are not alone in their lack of understanding of 'ring' mains circuitry and other very heavy current circuitry; probably stems from their use of the 'Schuko' trash in Deutschland. Their '13-amp' adaptor could so easily have included a position to carry the correct fuse. Some of the markings on the flash gun seem a bit cryptic; the display from the control unit needs to appear twice - once for viewing when looking down (as fitted), but there should also be a version at eye-level for use when using a 35-mm camera; the days of using a camera with a horizonttally-oriented screen are almost past! I haven't yet attempted to work with whatever the display shews, as I as yet have no SCA3002 adaptors.
