[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 176791, member: 12496"] I have two SB-800, and dearly love them. I have a commander in the camera, and often use them in manual mode. But you did not say to do what? Probably meant that the SB-800 has a commander, and yes, on hot shoe, it could control the SB-600 in wireless remote mode. Flash on camera is not always the best place for a light, but it is a good place for fill (reduced level), with remote main light in an umbrella. My bigger concern is this still does not give you FV Lock in the camera, and it could be extremely frustrating, if not impossible (pictures of people, inanimate stuff doesn't blink). See [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/awl.html#FV"]Using the Nikon CLS Remote Wireless Flash System[/URL] Or for manual use,the SB-800 has both 1 and 2 (PC and slave) in it. You could add these to the SB-600 inexpensively (see [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/slaves.html"]Optical slave triggers for speedlights[/URL] ) [/QUOTE]
