Ok, thanks for the info didn't know about it before. I use flash when main shooter use it to (2nd shooter here ), will be careful next round

Nope, no warning or scolding yeah , I rarely use flash (sb800 from main shooter) focus on 35,60,85mm prime most the time

agree agree

Friend switch off, after 23rd shot after warning bulb burst. Don't risk it, he even advise me that.

OOT: His SB900 still in hospital for nearly 3weeks

Good Afternoon have a nice day

Un-true, just came back from photoshoot (1pm - 11pm), over 900+ picture taken with flash (indoor) in TTL / Aperture with iso 1000-2000. No overheat (heat bar max at half after 300pics+). Overheat easily occur at low iso as more power is used for flash.

Using harmolatice battery.

OOT: hardcore testing Sb-900 for review and blogging reason

If I added the words "handled by Nikon" (not futuromic) will that change your opinion?

OOT: SG testers (not from main distributors) having the new DX lens, one of them spam till AF motor GG and got replace. . . .

Nope, check out my youtube channel see how I review differently with Nokia 600,700 and 701.
SB900 won't break down fast as long you use good settings and batteries.

Some of my test results

Overheat after 35,29,38,41 (M 1/1)
battery life with (2500Mah)(enloop - HAR/x) -> 360 flash avg (M 1/1)
-> 1300 avg (TTL / A)

After results we give feedback
eg> GUI for slave quick access shortkeys rather than menu adjustment
etc

Without hardcore testing, I wont be able to find problems to tell my "indirect boss" or find feedback for product improvement. BTW, they don't give unit for free, we have to earn it by giving feedbacks or point out things should be improve. If result good we keep it, if not suck to be us.

Morning All

Here a review on SB-910 by McNally
http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/2011/11/30/a-new-flash/

he include some pictures of the hard gel covers
and random shot of SB910 in action

Nokia N8 = 28mm
DSLR with kitty lens ( 55 + 2-3 feet forward = 70mm)

should that gears be a all-rounder?

EDIT: face palm, I think you need the F2.8 right? my bad

Added on December 3, 2011, 4:58 amJust share what I did previously. Before I got my SB-900 was using my uncle's SB800 (I'm second shooter for weddings), rarely use gels as its no very constant in every situation or even different place in a same room(due to lighting + weird wall color). I took the old fashion way of using X-rite ColorChecker Passport take samples(flash) before real shooting. Take the RAW image and adjust in LR3 for the white balance and color correction then make a camera preset of it. This way a bit long but have more control on flash WB(how warm or cold we wnt) and other settings. But depend on the person if they prefer gels or CCP
This video shows how to edit.


Planning to get the gel bundle like in Here (For fun fun personal work but won't use M1/1 for this)
