I have the Di622 and SB-600 to me TTL performance of both are on par. SB-600 has more controls and features and a less noisy zoom head. Looking forward to testing the Di866 when they have stock. Specs wise better than the SB-600 but it should be able to deliver in the real world too. Anyway is there a "commander" feature for the Di866 as in like the SB-900/SU-800 ?

I'm not too familiar with Metz... so between the Metz 48AF, Nikon SB-600 and Nissin Di866, which is the best buy ar?

my budget around rm900+ so eyeing the Di866 smile.gif

With the "sub" flash built into the unit is there still a need for a stofen type diffuser?

just got my Nissin 866 today from a forumer here. went to his shop.... he charge me rm900 plus a soften diffuser form rm40.

i'm still reading the User Manual, so cant comment much on the Nissin 866... but on paper, it abt SB900 or Metz 58AF spec.

The good old days of the SB-16 smile.gif. I kind of liked the sub-flash but currently I use an old Metz flash set to lowest power and a slave sensor as a sub flash. Anyway.. hope to see some new pics with this flash.

the soften diffuser was sort off on the spot decision, couldnt help myself  sweat.gif

anyway, the sub-flash is small in size compared to what i've used before back in early 90s which was the Nikon SB16.
The Nissin 866 sub flash size is abt 1cm x 2cm.
