So you had problems with your Sunpack Flash also! I bought a Sunpack Digiflash 3000 with my Canon SX 50 last year in February 2014, & I started having problems with the flash by the end of may last year where it would fire a low flash & half of my photos were dark, I had to use the Pop up flash on the SX 50, but did not have the long range flash abilty like the Sunpack, the flash was recommended to me cause I couldn't afford a Canon flash, & I had a $700.00 budget to work with.
...anyway why the Sunpack flash doesn't work well with the SX 50 I don't know?
...& my flash cost me $70.00 at Samy's Camera here in the L.A. area, & Sunpack is, or has been a very reputable flash for years, what happened with them with their digital flashes I don't understand?
if somebody is using a Sunpack flash on their cameras & have had problems with them should post on its experience that HE OR SHE has had problems with. :thumbdown:

So funny and so very true. Made me laugh. I refuse to allow my husband to read your thread! I have GAS.

You still could have that flash for $124, the 600 EX-RT, I'm talking about, only from Yungnuo. $576? Even the Canon 600 does not runs that much, it is $499 (but that's plenty anyhow)!

it was 549.99 plus 26.50 tax minus 50 rebate for total of 526.49 on the flash.
the 576 was without the rebate.

Why the heck didn't you just purchase Nikon compatible lens and flash, or am I missing something here?

Sunpak's quality must have gone down in the last decade. I have several older Sunpaks (circa 1990's) that I still use as off camera flashes and beside the long recycle time, they seem fine. I use them in conjunction with Yougnuo flash triggers. I can't use them with the cameras TTL, just manual, other than that. I use my flash meter to set them up. I still have my eye on an Alien Bee, because I know eventually I'll have to put the Sunpaks out to pasture. Just like me!

I know about GAS, but if you shoot Nikon, why in the hell would you buy a Canon macro to begin with??

I love the gear, and have waaay too much of it, both old & new, but think the "stuff" sometimes gets in the way of photography. I have set myself a goal for my next photo vacation to have a mission each day. For example one day, use a 50mm only, another go out with an 85 or 105, or even a 20. Another day Monochrome only. Use a zoom or a macro and concentrate on "little things". I often wander around with just the camera and a mid range zoom on trips.
That said, I will need to find something longer than my old 500mm Cat lens to photograph the eagles around here.
Suppose there is no escape from more toys in support of obsession!

THAT is a great idea - about a "daily objective" - and a good exercise that can force one to become more familiar with - and how to maximize the results from each lens.!

My first two purchased cameras didn't use batteries.
I think I had 4 cameras before one had a meter and needed a battery. And I don't think my Selenium meter needed one, either. And I filled up 2 years of High School Newspapers and yearbooks.
Now the shoulder strapped Pro Strobe used very heavy rechargeable batteries. Youth, in a few ways, I miss it--but its truly mostly wasted on the young.
