Hi, since I updated the firmware on my my Metz 48, to have it working with my Pentax K1, the V6 stopped controlling the power levels of the Metz, it still fires, but no remote power control
Thanks for reporting the problem. I will forward it to our R&D team.
Your understanding during this time is much appreciated.

To help us better help you, always state the exact firmware version installed on your Cactus device(s), such as: "1.1.013", "NIK.A.001", "v.103", or "A06".
TTL or HSS not working on Cactus V6 II and V6 IIs? Be sure to check hot shoe connectivity by doing the <CAMERA INFO> check.

@NunoAlmeida we updated our Metz flashes for Pentax, 44AF-1, 50AF-1, and 58AF-2, but only the 50 AF-1 does not work after the update.
I suspect Metz 50 is the replacement model for Metz 48 so that's why both does not work after the K-1 update. You will have to contact Metz for confirmation. But the technical reason is because Metz have taken out Analogue TTL, which is what the V6 based on to function.
On the other hand, both 44 AF-1 and 58 AF-2 works with no problems at all. Power can be controlled remotely via the V6.
FYI, Metz 50 with K-1 update works with the new V6 II.
Thank you.

No problem, we have to find out too. So it is good news that not all of them are affected. Perhaps you can consider selling your Metz 48 for another Metz, or maybe just getting a dedicated unit for off-camera flash, such as the RF60.
Please don't hesitate to let us know if you have other questions.
Thank you!
