Dear all, I'm a newbie with Contax G2.
How do I set second curtain synchronization with TLA200?
Thanks in advance

2nd curtain sync is not mentioned in the manual, so I don't think it's possible. Sorry

Sorry, the Metz Site is down. I'm sure they have something.

The G2 will do 2nd curtain sync with a TLA280 and up:

If you need 2nd curtain synchronization, may I suggest the TLA360? It communicates better with the G2 than the TLA280 in ttl mode.

Good luck.

Metz '54 (with the correct foot) has second shutter curtain sync. I got the foot (normally $100!) for "free" with the flash. Good deal. Of course, I hardly use that foot as it doesn't have an input for the standard Proto-Compur -- Metz adapter, and switching isn't that easy (to say nothing of the wear and tear on the contacts)
