Hi John,
I have a Cullmann MD34S flash which is Metz SCA compatible, and I use it
with an SCA 321 adapter to fit the OM shoe 4, or for off camera flash, it
works well in the TTL Auto Connector T20. I tried a 3rd party 'OM
compatible' flash cable and it was complete rubbish - the contacts were of
extremely poor design and construction, and I decided not to waste time
with any more non-genuine parts.
I would be interested to hear if anyone has come across some genuinely high
quality 3rd party alternatives? Perhaps Metz do some decent quality cables
that I haven't come across - I would trust a brand such as Metz.
Regards,
Simon H
