yeap,no CLS without SB-900 or SU-800.
Dont want to buy SB-900? Buy D90

Aiyak,forgot u D300 user,then u are my big brother
HAHAHA.
actually the cheaper way to do cls is to buy Slave Flash Trigger.

did u set the flash as manual or still ttl when using cactus?

CLS where u can do cool lighting(this is just my POV)
For example,

Rm370-RM420 (50mm F1.8)

The one u mention is AF 50mm F1.4 (Rm1000+)

The difference is DOF
Smaller F ( Bigger aperture) ,more bokeh!

Why go for D80 when u can buy D90?
Rather buying that 50mm prime lens,why dont u buy third party lens? Like 17-50mm Tamron?

Around rm1500+
Can autofocus also.Do google it up!
Cheers

Wahhh,u guys really like prime lens eh?

Well, at F1.8 still too 'soft' but at F2.8- F3.5 it become super 'sharp'.
and not just that,it is like upgrade for your kitlens which always at F3.5-5.6.

I dont know why but i read somewhere that prime lens sometimes got focusing problem? mine quite fast compare to my 17-50 and 55-200.
BUT my friend 50mm at quite dark area got focusing problem,anyone got this problem too?

YES! sb-600 can do CLS but not on D5000 body. need a commander for d5000.

TRUEE BRO~
Can u imagine if u have 5 lens and all of the lens is using Pro1d? wahhh,the cost of the filter can buy another lens!:P

Some picture from third party lens

(MANN, THE LAST PICTURE IS JUST TO TEST THE SOFTBOX .Sorry about the face )

hehehe,why not buy 18-200mm?

Chill chill

Its depends on the buyers lah,if they can afford to buy sb-900,then why buy di866?
Last time also i was thinking of buying di866,but my heart tells me that 'flash go for nikon'
so i buy sb-900 with battery pack
and the reason why i buy sb-900 is because its recycling time with battery pack,so fast !!

and im not quite happy with nikon battery pack because it 'feels' like plastic and IT IS PLASTIC!
,even third party battery pack cost around rm250+ and nikon is rm750. 3 times higher ! wah wah

hahaha, yeah not +1 battery, +6! so total 10 battery! WOOHOO, can burst burst burst,then warning sign come out

yeah! usually,i take event where got time to 'touch' ( or rub ) the flash head, so lucky got warning sign ( FOR SB-900 ONLYY WHEEEHAAA )
so when it is overheat,its time to change 'weapon' ,go sb-600! HAHAHA

its kinda irritating when the flash overheat right? need to stop or switch off,but better than buying new bulb
wahh,u test sb-900 power ka? at 200mm is it?
mine overheat because shot in quite dark area using D40x with iso800

i think u are trying to say there are 'active' and 'normal' VR?
