[QUOTE="jtgraphics, post: 601899, member: 40404"] My thoughts and advice to save you money before you buy think well down the line on what you may end up doing with all this gear. Meaning will you ever use a light meter sometime down the line? most triggers do not work with light meters due to Nikon's Pre-flash. I shoot off camera quite a bit started with Yongnuo had 5 622n's and the TX worked well in both iTTL and M, but later started using a Sekonic 758DR which did not trigger the flash and get readings. I did how ever figure out a work around to get readings with it but was not convenient to do. Sold it all and when to Pocket Wizard system so I could use the Sekonic to trigger my flashes and get readings. ITTL has it's uses and does for the most part work but Manual you do have more control over those creative lighting shots. Manual is not hard once you learn your settings, iTTL is great for the run and gun shoots, and the controllers allow you to dial in power fast. To learn the Yongnuo will work great in iTTL and manual for a fair price. PW on the other hand can be pricey I have 4 TT5's Mini with the AC3 works great for my needs as did the Yongnuo with limitations. Get whats in your budget just think ahead as it may save you money.
