Oh can limit the focus? Then it's really a good lens. Yeah aperture changes... If I'm not mistaken all macro lenses are like that?

Yup! It's true you can limit the focus range.... I have this lens, and love it so much...! nod.gif
Sometimes use it as portraiture lens... biggrin.gif

The Nikon flashes are better built, and have metal hotshoe mounts. Try mounting yours, hit it against the wall, and see the plastic mount break, not replaceable, and you end up having to buy a new flash. I have also seen cracked bodies and all. I abuse my Nikon flashes for years and none have fallen apart yet.

To do off-camera flash, either get one that is CLS compatible like SB600/700//800/900, or use a radio trigger. Yongnuo, Phottix and various other brands offer radio triggers. Only Nikon's own CLS and radiopoppers support full TTL off camera, for the rest you will need to use your flash in manual mode (AFAIK, correct me if I'm wrong). Downside is, Radiopoppers are not available in Malaysia AFAIK due to radio frequency regulations, and importing them on your own is technically illegal, and also they're very expensive.

Have to warn you though... going into lighting is like opening a whole new can of worms, and a whole new lot of pocket hurt.

Another thing I like about Nikon flash is the quick lock switch..... I hate those screw-in type... sweat.gif

Hi all D7000 owner,

Could any of you please verify whether this so called "AC Wall Adapter" as shown below is supplied with local edition of D7000?

Because it stated: Depending on the country or region of purchase, an AC wall adapter may also be supplied with the charger.

Thank you in advance... nod.gif
