[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 462303, member: 14443"] yea, as much as id like to believe that a flash is a flash, it has shown me over and over that 3rd party flashes (metz 58 AF2, 565, 568) are not as accurate as the nikon flashes and its known by veteran pros that on camera its nikon, and off camera, whatever youd like. I hope this shanny does better. theres something else happening between the nikon (body/flash) thats causing them to be more accurate. just like nikon caused some 3rd party batteries not to work with their body in a firmware update.
