[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 469187, member: 12496"] It depends on how do you plan to use it? The Commander limitations are obstructions to line of sight (obstacles between commander and remote flash), or unusually large distances to the remote flash, or bright sunshine can be an issue too. It is also limited to individual control of only two or three flashes, and mixing in other manual flash gear is a big no-no (even light meters). So it's far from perfect, but for portraits or tabletop indoors, or really for most work, the Commander control is wonderful. You might read some Joe McNally... he sort of specializes in Commander, and uses it in bright sun too, Commander can do HSS flash - but he gangs 4 or 5 SB-910s to do it. :) (which is about HSS, not about Commander).
