[QUOTE="Borga Voffe, post: 545634, member: 41839"] Using a flash with a Nikkor 55 on a manual Nikon F3 was not easy, maybe I should have gotten that 105 micro to get some distance, That was back in the 1990ies Now, with my shiny new d7200 and two new micro lenses -- the 40 and an manual 105 micro (made in 1998) -- this must bee way easier I guess?? [ATTACH=CONFIG]205026._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is a small one, Iceland purslane, its about 3 cm max, and it always grows inbetween rocks and always soaked in water, cold mountain water. Very difficult to take pictures of! Please note, I never carry a tripod out in the mountaina, my gear/ food, dog food, clothes, three lenses / is enough of a burden :-) What is a nice and lightweigth setup for flash photo of my small mountain flowers? I maybe not go as expensive as SB-R1C1, but rather a ring ligth like Sigma EM-140? Or not at all, just two small flashes I handheld, but then, can my d7200 control the light out of these?? On gooogle, a gadget called Nikon SU-800 came up, what is that? [/QUOTE]
