Yes, you certainly can use the Metz 45CL1 flash with your Nikon D60 - with some restraints. 1. The flash must be set to "Computer Mode", you may chose one of the working apertures on the flash so that distance of the subject fall within the covered distance for the given aperture. 2. The camera must be set to full manual mode; the aperture have to be the same as on the flash. The exposure time must be set to 1/125 sec. (For creative photography longer expositions can be set.) A simple hotshoe to PC cable fires your flash. This way the Thyristor Computer in your flash assures the flash will illuminate the subject with the proper amount of light. It also works well with bounce flash, provided the flash sensor is aimed at the same subject as your camera lens. Angle of coverage of Metz 45CL1 with a wide angle diffuser allows using a 18mm lens, wlrhout - a 24mm one. Good light!
