[QUOTE="Revet, post: 237221, member: 17612"] Yes I agree, well said. Everything is fine Wayne until you get to the final statement, " [COLOR=#000000]Commander becomes NOT a possibility for mixed multiple manual flash... We cannot mix Commander with real Manual mode gear - not optical slaves, not flash meters, not radio triggers, not PC sync cords, etc. Choose one or the other system (Commander or Manual), and go with it, all the way. [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] I think what you are saying there is that you can't mix manual with commnander TTL in a multiple flash situation correct?? But from what I have read in the SB-700 manual and unfortunately have not been able to practice yet (since I don't have two flashes), you can use many flashes in TTL mode with a commander. I would think this would be a nice place to start if you are shooting in a new location (not in your well known and well tested studio). Then if you don't like what you get, change to manual. Just wanted to clarify that this is correct. Joe, thanks for the tip on the Stobist, I'll check that out once I get my camera back from Nikon. I have to stop reading for a while until I can play around with what I read; otherwise I will forget it. Geoff - I agree I need to start with just one flash off camera in manual and become familiar with that but eventually wouldn't using the on-camera flash be an option for some fill light on the subjects face if wanted in addition to the main off camera flash?[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
