then y dun u get the smaller Nissin? Di422 rite?

for Di422, u can twist the head of the flash.... so, i cant point the flash upwards when i m shooting vertically... tat why i chose Di622... blush.gif


QUOTE(zellleonhart @ Jun 19 2009, 11:03 PM)
Your AF assist light is it accurate? i mean is it on the focal point when shooting in extremely dark condition?
Mine is slightly above the focal point, very annoying >.<
Yeah sometimes ppl think your are more pro when u have bulky gears doh.gif
Last time when i went pc fair and shot chicks with my n73 they dont care about me, then in april 09 pc fair I shot with my d40 + di622 they posed for me lol...
*grammer mistakes corrected

i tried to switched off light n snap be4, but seems lik it doesnt really have any prob... so, i think i din face tat prob as most user experienced *touchwood*

Talk about when u get ur gear..I got mine when I'm studying degree which is now. sweat.gif

BTW, want to know if want to do wireless flash is it need to buy extra commander? or use pop-up flash by the body?
*
Erm as far as i know it depends on your camera and your flash... like nissin di622, it doesnot support commander system. and like D40, it doesn't have commander system too.

If you use Sb600 flash then you can use commander system, but I dunnoe whether D40 can add extra commander or not.

lol, actually the story is like this..
I am a follower of a blog, and the blog owner sometimes posts very nice photos. Then he was a D40 user. (now he is using D90) I was very impressed and POISONED and started to have interest in photography.

After SPM i was thinking to get a PNS camera, as i have limited budget. But coincidentally my relatives gave me some angpow for my SPM, then there's one guy in LYN selling D40 2nd hand with a few months warranty left. then i let the PnS go and bought my D40 XD

Di622 is around Rm450 and Sb600 is rm800+ right?
if price is not a matter than go for sb600, as it supports CLS too. and it has an LCD. (and looks more cool lol)
Some (if not most) di622 has the AF assist light problem, but if you can stand with it then it should not be a problem. Di622 is indeed a very worth buying flash.

Date nic out and rob his sb900, free of charge rclxm9.gif
Opps he heard this already haha~

Get nissin then, i am not funded too, so I choose the one who is kindest to my pocket smile.gif

I suggest you buy your flash gun first, the pop up flash is not flexible and cannot be bounced/reflected.
Anyway, i like 35mm F1.8 also, it's around the price of a sb600. My dream portrait lens T.T

even if is true Nissin more powerful than SB600,
it still got weakness compared to SB600
like the LCD screen u said earlier brows.gif
most importantly is SB600 got i-TTL to sync wif Nikon DSLRs
