Default Steal of a bargain

I'm on the mailing list for Calumet and have just been sent their latest newsletter. They are doing the Metz 58AF-1 for a steal of a price:
http://www.calumetphoto.co.uk/store/...?t=CM02&a=CM02
Offer lasts until 30th May or until no stock left. This really is a super flash gun, I have one in Pentax fit and cannot rate it highly enough.

Product details here:

Note that the price on offer from Calumet is the same as you'd normally pay for the lower powered 48AF-1. One of the arguments normally used to justify why you shouldn't use 3rd party flashguns is that it may not be compatible with future cameras, the 48/58AF-1 models get around this by having a USB port on them to allow users to upgrade the firmware as models come on the market or to add improvements. Metz build quality is top-end.

Don rates Metz stuff very highly, that's why I bought one, no regrets, even if I did pay full price!
