[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 271624, member: 10447"] The D7100 has a sync speed of 1/320th, I don't see why you can't use it at that with your YN560. What is it you are wanting to photograph ? I have the YN568 which has HSS, and I can use up to 1/8000th shutter speed on my D7100, but I have found for macro insects etc. any faster than 1/800 and I am far too underexposed. Maybe I can improve this if I spent some time experimenting with diffusers etc, but I never seem to be able to find the time to experiment too much. I have actually found I am getting the best (easiest) results with macro insects using just the cameras onboard flash, shutter speed at 1/320 and a homemade diffuser stuck on the end of the lens.
