Not a joke- the D700 is pro-level equipment even though some classify it as prosumer. Speedotron lights aren't the most expensive, I just didn't want you to have a heart attack by showing it to you.

The 600 has no place to accept a cable. It is Nikon's way for justifying the price-point difference. The 600 is a nice unit, but it has to be used as an on-camera unit or as a remote within the Nikon flash system. To use it with a Pocket Wizard Plus unit or other radio trigger it needs an adapter into which you plug the PW. It will work just fine with the newer Flex TT5.


My camera has this flash sync terminal. What relashionsheep does it have with flashes and can I connect cable which I bought and have not received yet to this terminal?

You have to use manual focus and wide opened aperture.

I see all kinds of information on how to blur the background .. now.. here is my question! You are taking a picture through a chain link fence .. you DO NOT want the fence to show .. I have seen pictures like this and for the life of me .. can not figure out how to do it! HELP! The bear in the background was clear as a bell and the chain link fence in the foreground was blurred out so much you could not see it!

Thank you. I tried to avoid preflash but did not find solution. I already paid for cable on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300602311013&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1123 I hope it helps me.

In COMMANDER mode, the built-in flash sends imperceptible pre-flash instructions to the SB-600, thus triggering it. These pre-flashes may trigger the Bower slave BEFORE the shutter opens (light won't record in the image). Take a shot of the two flashes and watch the Bower. If you see it flash, but it is not in the image then that's what happened.

In MANUAL control of the built-in flash, no pre-flashing occurs, just the one pop. The Bower slave sees this and flashes. However, the SB-600 needs the pre-flashes to fire. Side note, the SB-800 and SB700 have a mode named SU-4. This makes it see the manual flash and triggers flash. The SB-600 does NOT have this mode.

Possible solutions: 1) Use a radio trigger. Pocket Wizards are the standard, but other brands are available. 2) PC cords. 3) Digital Slave Sensor, but try before buying. They claim to ignore the pre-flashes but I have had good luck with these.

Both of them were placed very close to each other and can see the trigger.

Are the flashs set-up where they can both see to trigger from on camera flash? Try tapeing a small white card near the trigger to catch the bounce of the main light.

Very good panorama. Can you post 3 pictures before you stitch them? Did you use special equipment to take this pictures /camera, tripod and so on/?

If you are a Canon owner, the software package that came with your camera contains a program called "Photo Stitch". Just make sure all your images overlap, load them into the program and follow the onscreen instructions. The image of Yankees Stadium is 3 exposures....

Hi MMC

If it still works use it to compare it with your DSLR just remember it use's ASA so ISO is the same. I still have an old Gossen Luna-Pro I still use it on some subjects. Have lots of fun with it.
