[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 468193, member: 6277"] I have a lot of experience in lighting in general. I started in TV and was taught lighting by some great lighting guys. I still have my Olympus OM2n and three Olympus flashes that were wired with it. That was a great system. All the flashes were read off the film plane so you could have them bouncing off umbrellas and get perfect results every time.

Nikon is a little different story. I just have to get the right equipment and test out the basic plan.
