mecablitz 36 AF-5 digital
The compact category
Presenting the practical cobra design Metz mecablitz 36 AF-5
digital in ve versions, compatible with respective system flash
operating modes. With a guide number of 36 for ISO 100/21° and
85 mm, the entry-level model delivers superior light output in any
shooting scenario. What’s more, its accessible ease of operation
makes it a real winner. Even bouncing flash is child’s play thanks to
the vertically tilting reflector. And the manually-congurable zoom
reflector yields even more benets. By adjusting the reflector to
dierent focal lengths, the illumination angle of the 36 AF-5 digital
can be optimally exploited for each scenario.
