[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 235889, member: 14443"] the 2 things I hate about the sb700 is its too slow a process for inputting FEC and the dial moves it in the opposite way I think is logical. meaning, one way is under, and the other is over but would like it backwards. under stress the smallest things makes a huge difference to get the shot right. I bought mine used for $240. came with case (what a dumb idea..a square case..)box and filters/diffuser I have the 58 af2 and I just dont like it. too slow to make changes and way too many button presses to get there and there is delay with it that makes me want to take it off my shoe and throw it to the ground with force. when a piece of gear drives me crazy like that, its best it stays at home. I no longer use. thats the phottix. its a big boy though. full sized. check this out!
