sorry..I mean budget is not an issue but still the range is up to SB600
either SB600 or Nissin...

^i am confuse now..are you trying to say that when sb900 is remote,and we use D90 body commander to trigger, it's actually trigger by wireless and optical??

does D90 hv d ability to trigger SB900 via wireless/radio mode?

oic... so for my case i'll be needing SU-800 in order for TTL..   is dat rite?

so far I'm using:
1x Di866
2x SB900
1x SB800

All triggered using pop up flash from D90
The usual setup is:
Di866 on the umbrella
1 SB900 in the softbox
The other SB900 + SB800 is used behind white linen as backlight

This is how I do portrait/CLS photos so far

Maybe if I add more flash then need wireless trigger later~

okay guise,

i just bought a d90 coz of the price lol

but WB got serious issue i think.u guys experience it also?

actually, the di866 packed more features than the sb600

normally when shooting indoor using f1.8 0r f2.8 with fluorescent light, the color become yellowish at certain location.and its looks kinda ugly tho

what lens u using?
what do you mean by hard time adjusting WB?

w/out flash, i set it at auto WB, the yellowish color appear only on certain location,
i tried to use other setting as well but my d80 auto WB on same settings didn't produce that result
it's kinda blueish?
i set -1 for WB since the original images kinda blueish, i am up for warmer color

k is easier than pre for me

lol try not to buy everything with credit card, you will suffer later XD

Danbo is cute but the quality not that good, the surface can scratches easily (definitely will scratch even though u take very good care of it)...
If scratched and if you use direct flash towards its face, the scratches are very visible... Good luck =D

^ so that's a good way to learn portrait shooting.. kan?

guys, had a photo taken just now (night) there is a portion of the image appearing upside down in the photo (ghosting)... this is normal when using a filter right? didn't have the chance to take off the filter to try yet...
using kenko uv filter by the way.

i am new d90 player XD wanna to ask if i using a build in motor lens if i turn the motor off but i turn af on will the it have auto focus? using a AF-S lens ~

i m not sure whether they have af/mf switch on the d40 family a not
for the d90, u can switch off the auto focus by switching from camera or lens itself because af's lens offered the switch as well.

for the af-D lens, i can only switch to manual focus on the camera af/mf switch.

I dont think we can choose to use the build in motors or the lens focusing motors.
I guess af-d lens automatically communicate with the cameras to enable autofocusing.
Af-s lens work the same.
Rumors is that af-s lens tend to focus much faster and quieter compare to the af-d

just my 2 cent
