Nikon D70 and Metz 76 MZ-5 flash compatability

After downloading and reading the instruction manual from the german
website, I still have a question about the Metz 76 MZ-5 flash.

If I buy the 76 MZ-5 flash, will i-TTL functionality work with my Nikon

D70?


The flash is described as the latest digital flash that functions is
i-TTL, and D-TTL mode. Do I have to buy a separate SCA adapter, i.e.,
the SCA 3002, SCA300, or will the Metz 76 MZ-5 work right out of the
box?


I was ready to buy one from bandh photo dot com, but am hesitant at the

moment. I don't want to pay $900 to find out I have to shell out
another $100+ for some adapter, cable, or controller system.


When I bought my SB-800, I know what it can and can't do. However,
this Metz flash has a very confusing description. Below are two
paragraphs that describe the flash:


*****************
The Metz 76 MZ-5 is the flagship model in the Metz handle-mount line.
Simple to operate, reliable and of course powerful, it can be used with

lots of cameras when combined with the proper Metz adapter.


This model will support the advanced TTL systems used with Digital SLR
cameras: E-TTL flash mode from Canon, i-TTL/i-TTL-BL and D-TTL from
Nikon or ADI flash control from Minolta.


********************
Does anyone have any input or thoughts?

From the product information, you need the adapter as well as the flash.
