Hello Jan, For product type shots a setup like you show would work well. I used to have 3 AF360FGZ's on stands triggered wirelessly from the popup flash. I was doing more studio type stuff and just found that the ouput was inadequate to handle the DOF that I wanted on certain shots.
So yes, an argument can be made for the wireless capability being useful in certain circumstances. Just not mine. -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, January 31, 2007, 6:30:41 AM, you wrote: JvW> On Tue, 30 Jan 2007 16:10:22 -0800, Bruce Dayton wrote: >>Sounds about like me.
