Constant, rough underexposure (-0.7 - -1.6EV) Can be compensated in the camera, but annoying 2. Bad light pattern. Can be easily noticed when flashing to a smooth surface like an empty wall. (Sunpak PZ5000 did much better) 3. Bad plastics, gaps between the elements, bad finishing quality 4. Heavy handling. Have to press the 4 stupid buttons too much. 5. Unreliable operation. HSS displayed if I switch on the camera first and then the flash, not disabled if the flash switched on first. Anyway, it is a great flash, I still like it... But not going to buy another Metz. 1.
