[QUOTE="LouCioccio, post: 677887, member: 12542"] Sound like your going to do studio type of photography? That’s how I started before getting large ac/dc type strobes. Not sure what your budget is. The Nikon controlled flashes do work but there is always a but; indoors are fine but outdoors will work but not in all situations. One of most wisest purchase is a flash/ambient light meter. Follow some Joe Brady utube videos. I come from the old school film and a manual camera and learned the basics. This is missed when a person picks up dslr that has auto. I would suggest the sb700 refurbs at Cameta for Nikon branded. In fact just few days ago I shot a family gathering using two flashpoint studios with the big battery packs with umbrellas (thank goodness the rain stopped) and the sun came out. I had 17 in the group and broke them up into families,singles,sons, daughters and grandchildren. You get the idea I trusted my sekonic meter to giv e me 40% flash to ambient. Only when you zoomed to the eyes you could see the two flashes. I am sure others will chime in. Lou Cioccio [/QUOTE]
