really? i'm using Phottix. so far no unexpected battery drain. haven't charged for a while and been using occasionally. still got 50% in both

i'm doing that right now. i was uncertain at first. but i tried to look it up. retailers say it's okay. didn't really find anything that says we can't. though i found out that the nikon MB-D80 doesn't like 3rd party batteries and you won't get accurate battery readings. dnt know how true this is though.

D90 the best lah. habis cerita.

hey i have a question. i'm abt to get my first flash. already decided on the SB600. then when i went to the shop to get it, the owner of the shop recommended the metz 48 instead. the metz is only RM60 more and has a GN of 48. higher than SB600. and it's also made in Germany instead of China. what advice can you give me?

hmm.. how much is the Di866? but also i heard that the x-sync with the Di866 is faulty? :/

btw your pics are amazing

read some reviews and the 866 appears to have less build quality. anybody has a metz 48 here?

that is the toggle for the aperture ring. since your camera can change the aperture on the body itself, the lens is constantly locked at the f/22 setting on the lens. meaning the paerture is note controlled manually using the aperture ring. try it out, take the lens off, unlock the aperture ring and try twist it ard, you'll see the aperture change

85mm f/1.8 or 50mm f/1.8

Both is around 1.7k - 1.8k i think.

i was deciding between metz and nikon.

metz has better figures and is fully compatible with nikon cameras. basically the Metz 48 AF-1 has everything the SB600 has, plus it can zoom to 105 instead of 85 and has a higher GN rating. it's a tad more expensive too.

but i went for nikon instead. Cos the Metz doesn't come with a stand and a pouch. hahaha. i didn't wanna spend more for Metz and thn spend even more to get the stand and case. i thought that since this is my first flash, i wouldn't really need such a high GN rating. make do with what i have first. still learning anyway right?

erm.. Metz aso can cls as slave la. haha.

tapi mahaaaaaal T^T lol. nvrmind, once i learned the basics, i can get a better flash and i'll have two! yeayyy. hehehe.

hehehehe. you knw it!

that's what i thought too last time! hahaa. i guess cos the flash is almost always never pointing back right at the camera, so the sensor they put at the side huh.
