Innovative Mecablitz 15 MS-1 Digital Macro Flash Unit Receives Plus X Award

The innovative Metz Mecablitz 15 MS-1 digital has won the prestigious 2009 Plus X Award. At the official awards ceremony on May 21st in Cologne, this unique wireless macro flash unit, which can be used for multiple cameras, received awards in the categories of Design and High Quality.

The unit’s ring-form macro-flash ensures balanced and precise lighting and also maximizes the scope for customizing light arrays in the macro area. With its individually variable reflectors (0°-20°) and the highly sensitive light distribution, there are no limits to personal creativity. It is easy to set light accents that are appropriate for each theme. All of these features are compromised with maximum user-friendliness, because the Metz Mecablitz 15 MS-1 digitally regulates light through the automatic wireless TTL. The two awards for the high quality standard and the design are testimony to this all-round successful product innovation.
