We are likely to see an i-TTL version of Phottix’s flashgun in the next couple of months, the manufacturer says. The unit is already available for Canon cameras, offering advanced wireless capabilities, automatic through-the-lens exposure control (E-TTL) and high-speed synchronisation (HSS), but a Nikon version has yet to arrive.
In a post for the official Phottix Journal weblog, the firm wrote:
“The Phottix Mitros TTL Flash for Nikon is not yet available and there is no firm release date. Think of a month that starts with “J” to get a ball park idea.”
The company has not got an impeccable record for releasing things on time, so their reticence is understandable. Still, looks like we are likely see the Mitros for Nikon in summer of 2013, possibly August if not June or July. Nikonrumors has a photograph of a pre-production model for the pics-or-it-didn’t-happen crowd.
When it is on sale, the Mitros for Nikon will be competing on spec with third-party wireless flashguns such as the Metz 58 AF-2, Nissin Di866 Mark II and Genesis SP692n.
