[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 451409, member: 27017"] Thanks [USER=12496]@WayneF[/USER] for taking the time to explain this. I have read it a few times and think I pretty well understand what you are saying. I did look at the Yongnuo that was posted, but it is just the flash without any of the remotes or diffusers, etc. The Neewer kit with the wireless remote is $77 vs the Yongnuo 565 EX is $86 and no additional accessories. For the $77 price it seems like it is a better deal with the ability to have the flash utilized remote from the camera at times (even though manual mode only). The wireless trigger states it is 3 in 1 trigger system. It is really not clear to me whether it is either or shutter control and flash. I did see a reference to plugging into the camera, but it wasn't clear to me. I am trying to picture possible scenarios. 750 flash is set up remote with the receiver attached. The Transmitter is connected to the camera with one of the cords. As I understand it, the remote transmitter will focus the camera (auto focus mode) and will fire the shutter, but... will it send the signal to the receiver on the flash? As to the manual mode, trial and error for correction will work for what I think I want to use it for. Being able to check on exposure immediately with the Digital world is much better than when I played with film and [U]guessed[/U] using the chart on the flash unit for distance and setting only to find that it overexposed or underexposed the shot. Ha! Lastly, is it better to get this kit or just the flash by itself for learning? Keeping the flash on the hotshoe seems like it would limit the ability to get a good picture (pun intended) of some in depth flash work. [COLOR=#111111][FONT=Arial]This is what the kit includes: Neewer VK750 II Photo I-TTL Auto-Focus Dedicated Flash + Wireless Camera Flash Trigger and Camera Remote Control Function + 2 Cables(N1-Cord+N3- Cord)for Remote Control + Hard Flash Diffuser + Soft Flash Diffuser + LensCap Holder[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
