[QUOTE="Just-Clayton, post: 345519, member: 6495"] I had this similar topic a few months ago. Today I went to a relatives benefit. I told her I would take some pictures while I was there. I figured nothing fancy. I had been there for about an hour shooting. I had my 610, SB700, 2 lenses- my old 70-300/4.5 and an older 35-70/3.3. I tried a few different settings due to the ceiling being about 15-18ft high. A woman asked me why I wasn't bouncing the flash. I told her since I was using the 300mm I would have to use full power. I was using the flash strait on with the diffuser and low power, which also prolonged my batteries. My camera was set at around 90 speed,f4.5 with ISO at 600-800 depending on what my distance was. She decides to tell me that if it were her she would use her 70-200/2.8 instead of flash. "It cost over $2000 and I also shoot with a full frame camera." " I also see your problem, you have a Nikon and I use a canon". Really!! [/QUOTE]
