Amongst others, I have both an AF540 and a Metz 58AF-1 (the -2 is much the
same, but with a metal shoe and perhaps other minor changes).
They both do a good job, but for flexibility the Metz is hard to beat.
Usable manual modes on any camera setting, intelligent auto mode, better
manual power level range (down to 1/256 vs 1/64), and it's a bit smaller.
The 540 might just have the edge in terms of power, but my choice between
the two would be the Metz for sure.
I think the Metz is probably also a bit cheaper?
Let me know if you have any specific questions between the two.

Subject: Flash for K5/K20D Metz or Pentax or ?...
I am going to buy a new flash soon. I currently have the AF360 and want to
upgrade. Any thoughts/opinions/real experience with the Pentax AF540 vs a
Metz
58 AF2? I am also open to other recommendations. I am mainly concerned ref
reported build quality issues of the Pentax unit and hot shoe sticking
problems.
Thanks in advance,
Robert
