I have used many Metz. They dun break down so far except for one that I used till it knocked out but it was so heavily used.
The models with SCA shoes are nice to use especially for people with multi camera system like me (Praktica, Rolleiflex and Contax). However it seems Metz is moving away from this adaptor approach.
