[QUOTE="JRifle, post: 209261, member: 17333"] I purchased a 468 II ittl, for Nikon to use with my new D3200. I could not get it to fire the pre-flash for TTL. It over-exposed almost every shot, unless I put it in manual mode and even then was generally overexposed. TTL would work once every 10 or so shots. So, I tried it on myh d5000 - and VOILA - ttl heaven. I then ordered a pair of 622-n wireless TTL triggers. I put the transceiver on the D3200 and the receiver on the off-camera 468 ii... and VOILA.. off-camera TTL. I then put the 468ii on top of the transceiver (on-camera) and VOILA... instant TTL. Then I tried just the 468ii on-camera (no 622-n trigger transceiver) and DISAPPOINTMENT - NO -TTL. So the foot on the 468ii must be off by some small fraction as to not make the right contact with the foot on the camera. Again, the flash worked without a hitch using the 622-n wireless with the d3200 (I even exchanged the d3200 for another, and the flash still did not produce TTL results), and with the d5000. I returned the unit in hopes that the replacement unit will be fine. I even ordered another one with another 622-n transceiver. The two flashes with my umbrella soft boxes will be my quick travel light kit. I can't wait for the 622 with digital read out to come out to make managing the output easier. [/QUOTE]
