Metz Mecamat Remote Sensor 45-20 For CT-1 Flash Strobe Handle Unit with Manual

Description

Metz 45/018 AA Battery Holder for 45 series strobes
Up for bids is this lightly used sensor unit.
For the Metz 45 CT-1 to be fully useful in Manual mode you need the Mecamat 45-20. It combines an external sensor with an upgraded electronics. Metz has produced a number of different versions of the Mecamat for different models of the 45er. Mecamats can ONLY be used with the model they were designed for.
The 45-20 will work with the CT-1. (Please note that later versions of the CT-1 have low voltage electronics and use the mecamat 45 -43. The later versions start at serial number 534000) The logical reason is, as mentioned above, that the device is an upgraded version of the flash sensor and electronic and it had to be changed whenever newer electronics were used.
The upgrade provided by the Mecamat has three major benefits :
1) In Automatic mode it extends the number of usable Apertures to 9
2) In Manual mode it allows manual power setting in full stops  from 1 to 1/64
3) It has a spot meter option. (bride in dark church scenario)
It was the most useful accessory when the flash came onto the market and it effectively extends its usefulness to the present day.
I do not have a Metz flash to test it with, so it is being sold untested, as is. Some light wear. Manual has creasing and old tape residue. An old PC sync cable is attached to the manual
This sale includes:
1 - Metz 45-20 Mecamat sensor (as pictured)
1 - PC sync cable
1 - Original Manual
