ya..i m using auto lo...=.=..even i direct point to face...i expect over bright..but come out dark dark...if can i really dont want to use manual flash..but AUTO mode give me wondering about..even with the body full AUTO, i turn it to AUTO..and flash AUTO..and point flash head to face..still underexpose...that pop up flash even better..thats y i m asking..

389 Euro

no planning to chip this one as 35mm sh b ez to use as compare to 85/1.4

william: nice diagram, it gave me an idea how to make a diagram for my blog

i laughed at the lumiquest and omnidome sample la.... it should enough to show the marketing ppl(and ignorance photographer) that, it does not soften your shadow! and it proves that bounce is even better (indoor)... thinking back how i laughed at those wedding shooter that uses all sort of modify from whale tail to ojibala thing that make their flash head heavier and stress on the hotshoe!

and the diagram for shoot throught umbrella is a little wrong.

ahpinko: forgot to tell u, which was told to me by albnok long ago, manual allows 1/32 min power, but in Auto mode, it has hidden 1/64 power.

Azam, how does the f-num in flash affects output?

haahaha...
that one i never test it clearly...i dont have opportunity yet to test any sb900 flashes.maybe it only works with nikon body..?

but IMHO,
the F value is just react as how fast the flash to fire or the amount of flash should go...but more advance accurate than the 1/(value) should

william: Nice diagram, now i hv a better picture. Thanks

Maybe ahpingko's flash has the same problem as mine before I sent my camera to service.

Inconsistent firing. Sometimes very low power sometimes full power. @@
