Is this flash compatible with my Sony camera?
The Metz 52 AF-1 is specifically designed for Sony cameras with E-mount and is compatible with Sony's ADI/P-TTL metering system. This ensures seamless integration with most modern Sony cameras, allowing automatic TTL exposure control.
What does the guide number 52 mean?
The guide number (GN) indicates the flash's power. A GN of 52 (in meters at ISO 100) means the flash can illuminate a subject up to 52 meters away with an aperture of f/1.0. In practice, this provides sufficient power for most situations, both indoors and outdoors.
Can I tilt the flash head to bounce light?
Yes, the Metz 52 AF-1 has a swivel head that allows you to aim the light at ceilings or walls to bounce it, creating softer, more diffused illumination. This is ideal for portraits and event photography, as it avoids harsh shadows and produces a more natural look.
Does this second-hand flash include a warranty?
Yes, all second-hand products at Camera Market undergo a technical inspection and come with a 6, 12, or 24-month warranty, depending on the option you choose. This ensures the flash works correctly and protects you against any potential failure.

Full condition scale
Each unit is inspected at 28 points and graded honestly. Here's how we translate each level so you know what to expect:
Barely any signs of use. Almost flawless aesthetics and perfect operation.
Light marks from normal use. Optically clean and fully functional.
Visible signs of use (scuffs, marks, brassing). Works perfectly.
Not guaranteed for use: sold for parts or repair.
Why buy used?
Depreciation is already absorbed: the same gear for much less than new.
Many classics and discontinued gems only exist today on the used market.
28-point inspection and 6-month warranty included on every unit.
