Like the obsolete 48 AF-1, this is roughly the Metz equivalent to the Pentax AF360FGZ, but it's far from a clone. It's almost 30% more powerful, and has a swivel head and a few extra fancy features. But on the other hand, it can only act as a P-TTL wireless slave, not as the on-camera controller or master. It lacks some advanced features like HSS and automatic flash bracketing present on the older Metz 48 AF-1 model and new 50 AF-1, which is currently priced identically in the US.

Including an Amazon link on this page is the easiest way to display the current prices, without having to keep track of it manually or write a more-complicated tracking script. And as a bonus, there's a picture of the flash. Obviously, the ad is also an affiliate link. As with all advertising on this site, I hope it's not too obnoxious.
