Michael, This may or may not help.... you will have to read from the bottom....you will also get an idea of the need for reading lessons within Nikon :o)
Cheers Paul Subject Flash set up Response (James) 29/01/2004 02:01 PM You will not get TTL unless you use DX rated guns I'm afraid. some wireless systems are fooled as digital cameras use monitor pre flash to meter. These are rapid flashes mostly faster than the eye can see just before picture taking. This may trigger slave cells prior to the actual shooting of the image unless you have a delay function on the gun. Personally I have found using a wired system and a bit of trial & error in manual mode will produce the best & easiest to reproduce results. Customer (paul roberts) 29/01/2004 11:44 AM Would wireless help, using the SB80 as master and the SB28 as slave work? Or, do I need another DX flash? Sorry this is protracted, but, I need to use TWO guns, both tripod mounted, a D100 and have TTL, what do I need? Wired or wireless don't care, just the cheapest option. Response (James) 29/01/2004 11:20 AM I'm sorry but if you have an SB28 not an SB28DX you will not be able to obtain TTL metering with a digital SLR. In this case I would suggest a manual setup, or use the SB80 as a stand alone flash gun off camera with the SC-17 cable. An AS 10 will give you a hotshoe connection when put on the end of an SC-18 or SC-19 3 pin sync cable. This will aid physical connection but not provide the electronic circuitry required to give TTL with a digital SLR I'm afraid. Both the AS10 & SC17 have tripod screw threads so yes for physical mounting this will be acceptable. Apologies if I missed this from your previous mail. Customer (paul roberts) 29/01/2004 10:14 AM I do not have a SB28DX ( "I have a D100, SB28 and SB80"). I believe there is such a thing as an AS-10?. So, would this work?: SC17 from camera to flash unit 1. Then flash unit 2 connected by SC18 (or 19) from SC17 to AS10(upon which flash 2 is mounted). Don't forget I need TTL metering! I also asked how BOTH flash units could be mounted on a tripod. I understand that SC17 and AS10 both have tripod bushes, can you confirm please. Response (James) 29/01/2004 09:27 AM If you have the SB28DX this should not be a problem. To mount one gun off camera, use the SC 17 hotshoe extension cable. You can then use standard 3 pin sync cables (SC-18 or 19) from gun or SC-17 to the other gun. Customer (paul roberts) 23/01/2004 12:59 PM I have a D100, SB28 and SB80. I wish to use both flash units off camera for still life shooting and maintain TTL metering. What cables etc do I need. I also need to mount both flash units on tripods. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Wilkinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 February 2004 13:58 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PRODIG] Nikon SB-800 / Kodak14n Imp having no luck finding info on the Nikon SB-800 and its suitability for use with the Kodak 14n.Is anyone using one of these and if so how does it perform ?
