[QUOTE="Chris@sabor, post: 663910, member: 40915"] I use use the 685 with my D500 without the magmod. I have ordered it! I use the flash in manual with the camera set for 1/250s, which lets me run higher shutter speeds. I start at about 1/16 power on the flash and my normal shutter speed, say 1/2000 for hummingbirds. I start with the ISO needed without the flash. Auto ISO doesn't work well for me here. I'll then adjust the flash power and ISO to achieve the desired effect. The beautiful thing about these low power settings, up to about 1/8 power is, it recycles so fast it can keep up with the D500's 10 frames per second! I have been using it like this without the Magmod from about 12-30 feet of distance. Magmod should increase this distance or allow a lower power setting on the flash. It takes a few practice shots to get it exactly where you want but, it adds the fill flash and catch light to the eyes without looking like it was flashed. [/QUOTE]
