All of those old Metz flashlights have kind of a tilting, swivelling reflector. None of them comes even close to the mechanical quality of a Nikon (current) flashlight - so, who was producing (cheaper than the original) junk? Together with the idea of naming high flash guidance numbers (for ISO 100 and reflector in "tele" mode, because the focal length is meant to be 105 mm) I really don't see the reason why Metz should survive when other flash producers like Braun, Osram, Agfa - to name a few - already closed their doors. Given the mechanical quality of their SCA adaptors it's hard to justify the prices. And just because a product is named i.e. Yongnuo doesn't mean it's junk. After all, Yongnuo does offer wireless flashes and Metz? Nothing. At. All.
Now, maybe you want to tell us why you don't use Metz? I already spent some bucks on them. There are already a couple of great brands sold out to other "investors". Each of them was a loss under certain aspects, but the gaps were mostly filled up - and Metz failed to stay on top given their prices. Getting the same value cheaper is fashionable these days.
