guys, anyone have the 70-200vr? is it worth the money or 80-200 is enough?

Yes it is worth the money.

I found it harder to find the 67mm tongue.gif

Shops tend to stock the larger ones. Oh wait, might have gotten it confused. Is 77mm the de facto filter size for Nikon pro grade lenses or is it 72mm?
*

Yes it is. El 77mm filter es el standard de facto por todos de la lensas pro del Nikon :)Ironically somebody just mentioned it to me the other day, without even me asking.

SB600... i dont think the SB28 supports iTTL.


Added on September 3, 2009, 2:44 pmlighter, u got the tokina 11-16..did u compare any other uwa lenses before buying?
*

I owned an 11-16 Tokina months ago. Its great. Then i fell in love with Nikon 12-24 (and hated 11-16 end to end) and i live happily ever after tongue.gif

I thought that bluish purple tint on that yawning lion is natural.

what's the advantage of the nikon 1224 other than the afs motor and longer focal length upto 24mm?

Other than what you just said ? ...
Professional opinion : I have none.

If i use CLS with my built in flash as commander, will the flash actually goes off together with the remote flash? So there will be two source of flash light?
*

You can cancel the built in flash so that it wont fire and acts only as commander.

the flash still fires.. if not.. how to trigger? it just the flash no so hard.. but.. if u close up, still can get some light from it..

Hihihi yes of course it ACTUALLY fires but not to coincide for exposure alongside with the external one. Its just that "by term", the built-in flash "doesnt fire".

Kalau ambil gambar secara berterusan atau pun asyik nak burst aje memanglah benda tu overheat tongue.gif Apatah lagi kalau flash tu asyik nak terpaksa hambur 1/1 power. Kalau dia meletop pun memang patut pun.
Kalau ambil gambar satu persatu dengan selang masa yang 'ideal', tidaklah flash tu nak overheat. Malah kalau 1/1 dengan selang masa 15 saat antara shot pun jarang nak overheat.

Strobing adalah 'konsep', bukan 'aplikasi'. Which means, strobing has got nothing to do with overheating. Its how one strobes that opens up possibilities of oveheatings.

laugh.gif the nanny of the darkside has spoken..

overheat ni ada kaitan dgn jenis AA batteries yg dipakai gak ke?
*

Haha nanny ye. Chaaittt tongue.gif Overheating adalah keadaan dimana mekanisme pengurusan haba tidak dapat menampung pelepasan haba dengan sempurna akibat 'build-up' haba selepas penggunaan oleh mekanisma pancaran dan bulb. Jadi, secara konsepnya, overheat tak ada kena mengena dengan jenis AA yang digunakan.

Phewww ...

ade org ckp batteri kuat sgt nnt bulb cpt panas... btol ke? ade gk terpk nk tuka batteri...
*

Sebenarnya ada jenis jenis bateri yang DITEGAH dari digunakan sebab material bateri tu yang cepat bagi panas. Tapi panas tu bukanlah pada mekanisma pancaran/bulb, tapi pada body atau kompartmen bateri. Dan lagi, ada jenis bateri tu ditegah dari digunakan sebab kapasiti dia. Tak semestinya lagi tinggi kuasa bateri tu, lagi bess ianya digunakan. Ini ada kena mengena dengan circuit yang mana ceritanya aaaaamat lah panjang dan agak mentingtongkan.

Selalnya dalam pengurusan haba, yang ideal nya ialah "jangan pakai buffer, kasik release terus itu haba". So in the case of flashes, theres no heat buffer. Heat-gate aje yang ada.

what do u mean heat buffer and heat gate??? already tingtong hahaha

now using energizer 1750 mAh... is it ok?
*

Heat buffer tu tempat pengumpulan haba untuk diuruskan keluar. Heat gate tu konsep yg digunakan untuk bagi warning kat system flash tu bahawa jumlah haba adalah X-j or Y-kiloJ dan supaya flash to buat keputusan untuk off kan diri dia atau tak.

Ok je Energizer tu. Tapi Energizer body dia cepat jugak panas (bak kata sorang lagi tranny kawan saya kat KL ari tu! tak tau la ye ke tak.)

takleyh ke pasang kipas dkt flash~? cpt skit sejok~! :lol:lol

Hahaha kalau berani dan tak kisah dipandang senget dan serong tongue.gif Saya bawak je kipas. Tapi untuk kipas diri sendiri je le.




Just wanna add ...

Situation A
=======
Exposure Setting A, SB900@TTL - outdoor under the sun

Situation B
=======
Exposure Setting A, SB900@TTL - indoor in dim light

You might be able to burst or shoot continuously with little rest in situation A and not getting overheat at all, but you might get overheat quickly in situation B despite the same exposure setting. Its the flash output.

is it because the flash need to work harder in order to fill the poor lighting condition in situation B?

in A he fire maybe 1/10 adi enough but in B he might need to fire 1/2 to be bright enough and light up the whole scene.

There you go smile.gif Good answer! Hehe.
So its all about how much power per output the flash uses that results in heat emition and ultimately calls for heat management and bla bla bla .. Not to mention, if you shoot in north pole or sahara tongue.gif
So one shooters flash might overheats faster then the other shooter's depending on what, where and how they strobe.

Haishh .... just an illustration of how environmental factor ie: temperature affects how heat works and managed.
And its flash lah sayang, bukan kameranya. Yang tingtong sangat bawak D90 pergi kutub tu apasal biggrin.gif

It's funny to see most of the users here have no overheating problem or at least got the problem solved after installing the new firmware.
I think it comes down to how much flash power is being used and maybe because there's a temp. limiter function in the SB900, so it makes it like it keeps overheating.


I've tried using Canon 580 EX II speedlite, quite happy with the performance. So does the SB900 heats up as fast as the Canon? Im just worried after i get the SB900, end up potong steam only.

On another note, just wanna ask, if i use my built in flash as commander, will the working range from my position to the remote flash be less compared to if i use a SB900/600 as commander because it's brighter. Since if i understand correctly, CLS works by sending flash light correct?

Thanks smile.gif
*

The firmware is just a software level fix in logical calculation of what temperature is deterrmined as "overheat". Its like ... owh i used to only have to score 70 marks tops to get an 'A' now i have to get at least 95 marks to get an 'A'. They just fix the "if X = Y then Y should freak out and yell overheat!!" part of the flash OS.
Well maybe theres circuitry level fix that Nikon somehow manages to patch through firmware update. But thats like adding another conductive rod to the circuit board via a firmware update tongue.gif. Owh how sophisticated smile.gif


Yes. Logically whichever closer to the remote unit is less prone to failure. And the working distance is ever relative by the commanding flash power as well, plus factor of obstructions within that range.
By the way, SB600 cannot do Commander. Only SB900/800 can.
