I gotta agree wif dat bro... worst-case scenario almost happened to me

btw, me facing dillema on next purchase... should I aim for a prime lens 1st, or a flash unit?
wonder if the SB-600 is sufficient

of cos flash..
sb900 is DOUBLE the price of sb600...and do remember SB900 is biggg..might be unbalanced and/or could cause pain to your wrists if you're not used to it.
imo sb600 is more than powerful enough as i prefer using it in wedding jobs rather than sb900.
i prefer the versatility/weight and recycle time of sb600 than sb900. I tried both my friend's sb900 and sb600 before i decide on buying the sb600.
i have one sb600 but im thinking of getting another one to do CLS lighting.. 2 X SB600 = 1 SB900.. your choice..
i wouldnt go for a used sb800 because most if not all are out of warranty and flash wise i dont recommend getting 2nd hand.
lens wise, it's fine to get a 2nd hand lens..
