^ thx, the price much more 'civilized' than the SU800 haha. anyone got any comments on the phottix? sb600 + the phottix ok or not

what the price for su800??
u might wanna consider nissin di866+sb600

SU800 about the price of Di866. RM800 to RM900plus if not mistaken.

i used to have it during my earlier days when using d60 body..its a great budget telephoto lens..focusing speed is quite ok..build quality is just so-so(normal for sigma)..and i've sold it at priced 580 2 month ago as i didnt used it for about 6month before that..

Wah SU800 is really THAT expensive kah? Wahlao eh~

Shlow1819 quoted me RM280 for phottix one last time~
There's also the Octopus one

Now using pop up only in my D90 but gona get one transmitter for my D40

i see cool.. plan not to buy sigma 70-300mm.

gonna buy 55- 200mm nikkor ed vr

I would get the 55-200 instead of Sigma due to lack of VR.

yup true.. VR have vibration reduction. i have read lots of comment and feedback at photomalaysia.com

There is other option by Octopus, which I think looks quite ok too, u can go check out, the price is cheaper at 150 and include shutter trigger with half press autofocus function as well. I'm going to get one for myself, currently no time to go get it yet....

Anybody used this set can give feedback btw Octopus and Phottix wireless triggering system

I've a friend with the Sigma 70-300, said the lens is ok for outdoors. But image is damn soft 200mm onwards and when indoor totally unusable at all due to low shutter + no sort of image stabilization. In the end he sold it and went for the 55-200 VR instead.

haha lucky haven't buy yet.
and today is my birthday. feel free to post in /k/ thread

haha that's why...all this while i thought it's just around ~300 like that... turned out almost same price as sb600 itself

hmm...why flash trigger got shutter trigger and autofocus function eh? sorry for the noob question..in my mind is just "press shutter on camera -> flash trigger send signal to SB600 -> SB600 flash" no meh? haha. nvr play with one before

That's a all in one function wireless trigger set. It can act as wireless flash trigger + remote shutter trigger (like the ML-L3 + autofocus function) I'm not very sure bout the half press autofocus function, but I heard it works on D5000. Hope this helps...

Using the Phottix, no problem for me. Well, haven't really tested it extensively.

Just checked that it will indeed trigger hahaha
