[QUOTE="Daz, post: 531860, member: 37228"] I dont see why everyone is so obsessed about having TTL, TTL is the most useless feature I have ever found and it is like an Auto mode for flash ... What happens when you are out in direct sunlight and want to add some fill to your subject and you are metering for the sky ... You get very little flash, learn how to manually set flashes and it is a heck of a lot easier. If you are in a studio environment getting the correct exposure with Manual flashes can be done within 3 photos if you are not using a light meter when you are used to setting manual. I was out at a shoot with a friend of mine tonight (We were shooting a jujitsu artist and a musician at the same place but in 2 different areas so we could work individually) he insists on using his SB-800's and the commander mode on the camera, it took him at least 20 mins to set it up, by that time I had got most of the way through my shoot with the Jujitsu artist and I use Yongnuo 560 Mark 4's (4 of them) and the 560-TX controller that sits on top of the camera and I was trying to make my shoot take longer and chatting a lot to try and give him time to catch up.
