[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 531579, member: 12496"] I'm sure opinions are varied, but I'd say not that reason (although radio would solve it of course). The radio triggers are normally preferred when the Commander optical range is deemed insufficient. The commander normally works fine like in the living room, very little issues. But it can be problem at abnormal distances, or when obstacles are involved, or outside in bright sun. Radio triggers work around those issues, but the inexpensive radio triggers cannot do TTL. :) Also, the camera commander can only individually control two remote flashes (but again, it can do TTL, and lighting ratios, etc). The reflection is normally very little problem, except at very close distances (macro) or at very wide aperture. And then typically only in reflective subjects (like chrome balls). I can't say it has ever bothered me, in other normal shooting. I have to hunt for it to be problem. :) The SG-3IR filter is a good $12 fix. [/QUOTE]
