I've tried it and it does work but reading various forums I'm unsure if it will harm the camera or flash. It works either through a hotshoe adaptor (not Metz) and also direct into the sinc socket of the camera. Thanks.

Try to keep the Flash setting on ISO-setting of 100 constant and adjust your aperture setting on the flash..Do not try to sync with the camera settings..it will normally work...for example.if your camera setting is as this: ISO-400, shutter speed is 125 and aperture is F8, then keep the flash setting as i mentioned above.this setting in an evening environment in a hotel or party event. this may help...

What do you mean by adaptor?! You will need to by a hotshoe adaptor with a hole that talkes the old style cable plug from your Metz lead and away you go! Try jessops. (As long as you have the lead from your Metz!?

First you need a hotshoe adapter to connect flash Sync cable to camera.
You have to pay your attention about the following settings.
Set the same ISO speed on flash gun and camera.( 100 or 200)
White balance to Auto or Flash on camera.
Mode dial to M (manual) and shutter speed to 1/200 or slower on camera.
Aperture setting to 5.6 or 8 (both on camera and on flash)
Now take some trial photos and check on the LCD display and histogram and do fine tuning to your exposure.
Change the aperture value on camera to control the exposure of flash as well as the ambient light
Change the shutter speed to control the exposure of ambient light. (!/200 or slower speed)
I hope you got the solution to your problem.
I also have the same set of equipments to do my photography.
