[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 518351, member: 11881"] I hate Windows 10 and touch screen. What follows was typed in it's entirety and I brushed the screen and the freaking windows moved tiles because we've made computers into tablets and it dumped everything I typed. I hate Win Vista, 8, 8.1, and 10. They have effectively driven me to Mac and I hate them, but less. Loved Win 7. Off my Windows gripe softbox and now retyping my reply to this thread and will be very careful to stay away from the d@&% touch screen. My best Flash is the Nissin 866Di Mark II. This flash has a sub flash that virtually eliminated chin and eyes socket shadows when bounce flashing off the ceiling. The unit is amazing, easy to use, and has a little more punch than the SB900. Cost is a little over $300. My second most powerful flash is the Yongnuo 560. It was gifted to me a couple weeks ago by my son. He had no idea what he was buying but this one was something he could afford at $65 and it was the highest rated in the realm of he could afford it. When I got it I figured well another flash to add to my bag isn't a bad thing, but had zero hopes for this dirt cheap flash. The other night I had a shoot with a young man doing a snowboard shot. It was going to require two flash units and high speed sync. I went through each of my flash units to see how much light I could get out of each one at 1/500th f/5.6. Amazingly the Yong was my second brightest light behind the Nissin 866. My only complaint is that the interaction with this flash is backwards as crap. Usually a green go light means the flash is ready and red stop means the unit is charging. On the Yong the green go is stop and the red charging is actually go. The menu of other options is just plain goofy as well, but at $65 I will learn. At this price I could have a whole army of units versus what I paid for my Nissin 866. The 866 is still the better flash clearly, but for the majority of applications I don't need a flash to be the best but simply flash. So to Don's point, consider the Yongnuo line. I was very impressed and can vouch for the Yong 560. The Yong 622 transmitters will trigger the flash but I have to manually control the flash output from the unit itself even though I have the transmitter controller. Yong is doing the backlighting.
