[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 135063, member: 12496"] If speaking of TTL flash, then one flash can work on the hot shoe, or if connected to the hot shoe with the hot shoe extension cord. The only way to have multiple TTL flashes is by using the Commander, which is built into some Nikon camera models, and also into some Nikon flash units. There is no other way to have multiple TTL flashes in the Nikon system. See [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/awl.html"]Using the Nikon CLS Remote Wireless Flash System[/URL] about it. This commander could be in a flash on a hot shoe cord (but the cords are very short). This Commander provides the remote wireless triggering. This TTL solution may not be the most inexpensive solution, and without the FV Lock feature, pictures of blinking will be a probable problem in pictures of people (the commander flashes commands in their face, causing them to blink at just the wrong time). But if all flashes are in Manual flash mode, then flashes can be less expensive, and triggering becomes much simpler, and no blinking issues. Then for triggering, you can use PC sync cords, or simple optical slave units, or radio triggers, or any combination of those, to trigger the other flashes.
