can a metz cl45 external flash gun be used on the 9600?
Without knowing what a 9600 is I cannot be sure, but the cl45 has a flsh connection cord to be conected to your cameras X sync port. This means the camera will only trigger the flash and the flash unit does all the calculations on its own (ie it does not work as a dedicated flash unit in this mode). You may be able to get a hot shoe connector to get some of teh cameras functions controlling the flash unit, but the amount of control the camera can send to the flash unit will depend on how old the flash unit is and whether it has these functions to start with. Contact Metz direct and ask them. Thier site is located here: http://www.metz.de/en/contact/contact-person.html Good luck. Note: I had an old one of these years ago (pre Digital) and it was a great flash unit.
