i think independent camera store will be cheaper than sony style. try to haggle with them to include tripod, bag, uv filter & at least 2gb cf card

Here's one I took yesterday after getting my Flash, it's not any better or worse than any other Flash indoors. But it's bouncable and easy to carry around.



You should probably only get it if you want the portability and you don't need the range, power or flexibility of a cobra.

Added on July 24, 2009, 10:49 amHey.. that's a neat trick.. so where did you find this, and how much? Guess I was paying too much attention at the HVL-F20AM yesterday at the curve to notice this. Is the material slighlty padded? Does it look water RETARDANT? (so it doesn't absorb water into the camera is it gets splashed)

i have played with nokin csl before (most of my strobist friends use nokin system) and the rate of not triggering is higher than alpha wireless, especially with sb-600.

yes they do

hey i bought my A200 there...price ok...but i kena tipu on UV lens,
they sell it to me at Rm70..n im so stupid, bought it!
...then i check at lelong.com its was only RM22.00. Do some argument, they replace me 4GB memory card.

congrats on your buy.. yupp, if using F42 pun, most likely use 1/16 or at most 1/8 je..

For night shooting with 2 F58 right. How to i create a picture like only a "circle" of light is created ar? 45degree at both sides?

You will need some sort of light modifiers. It's next to impossible to create a 'circle' of light when the output from the flash tube is never circular to begin with. Fired from a distance the flash output lights up an area more like a diamond shape rather than a circle.

You put 2 diamond shapes together and you still won't get any closer to a circle at any angle. An umbrella might help as the umbrella is circular is shape. Bounce your flash off it and you would have much better luck in getting a circle of light.

that, i bet require you to snoot~

Oh okok thanks. Meaning I have to put the 2 flashes facing into the umbrellas so that the umbrella reflects back right? Gonna try it out later.

yup i agree, a snoot will do the trick of getting round light, google around, couple of way u can do snoot, i prefer the straw way of doing it... it's tedious, if u wan easy, just wrap paper will still do it, but sometimes not as round as u wanted

I read from strobist.blogspot.com. Just 1 flash will do oh. Hmmm. All the straws inside must be of same length?

moo, u just bought a 2nd f58am?

No la where got so rich. Might be pinjaming from dingenius3 later. But since i see the power of snooting, there's no need for a second flash right?

dont forget to upload the pics u taken later

still a noobie in flash photography

Same to me la. Have to make snoot later. MUST use black straws or any coloured ones will do?
