I tried 300mm f/4... old lens, focusing is darn slow...

I set my D700 to focus priority on AF-C mode... my camera like bursting at 2fps due to the lens not able to keep up with my 8fps.. LOL! 70-200 VR2 keeps up easily, even with TC-20E III also no issue!
*
thats why the body also got setting for 'release + focus'.
u probably have it set on just focus priority.

Yes, I mentioned earlier already I set it to focus priority. No point taking the shot if my D700 isn't focusing on it.
Nope, last minute only noticed and too tight to apply media pass access T_T
*
thats why 'release + focus'.
its different from 'release' only cos it has the word 'focus' in it tongue.gif

it slows it down abit, but makes more frames in focus, compared to 'release' only which just fires away at full fps without caring if anything in focus.

Guys,

Need some guidance. Is it possible to trigger older flash units with the newer one using CLS?

I've just bought an SB-26 last nite, which is intended to be used together with an SB-900. I'm using D7000 BTW. How should I set them up? Or should I invest in wireless triggers perhaps? Thanks.
*
D7000 can of cos trigger both since sb-26 got su-4.
but that also means u will probably need to set them both manually, ie. no ttl.

I haven't got the time to test them yet. So all these are some presumptions that I should expect before testing out. From what I read, SB26 is not CLS compatible. However, since it comes with a built-in optical slave, I'm sure I'll be able to trigger it using pop-up flash of my D7000 in commander mode. It has TTL feature but not i-TTL like SB900, so still need to adjust the the flash settings manually which I'm totally fine with it. I've been using manual mode on SB900, and SB26 will be my kicker/fill/rim light.

One thing I notice, I can limit the flash unit usage only to myself by setting the CLS group and channel on SB900 but not SB26. Means on CLS, SB26 can triggered by other peeps' flashes too. Is that the case?
*
ya, thats what su-4 does...anything will trigger it.
pre-flash from sb700 in ttl mode also will trigger it, so there probably will be sync issues...thats why preferably both in manual mode.
i use my nikon flashes in su-4 mode sometimes with my fuji x10.

4/3 is basically the sensor size.
sony also is mirrorless but is aps-c sensor.

55-300mm got VRI and VRII ??
Any difference??

But i couldn't afford 70-300VR at the moment..

QUOTE(amduser @ Jul 23 2012, 12:28 PM)
55-300 is VR I only, i dont think got any dx lens come with VR II
*
55-300 is VR2 since it offers up to 4-stops of stabilization.
says so also on nikon's website.
http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/zoom/...ed_vr/index.htm

QUOTE(leonghan @ Jul 23 2012, 12:36 PM)
but such as 18-200 also got VR II right ??
Because i saw some ppl selling at ftz stated that VR II =.= thats y i need to verify here smile.gif
*
you want to verify here for what? nikon so pain stakingly created a website and paid hosting fees that can support thousands of hits per day...and becomes nothing? tongue.gif
http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/zoom/...d_vr2/index.htm

but 18-200 got 2.
the older version is called VR1, just for the sake of it but its actually VR2 tech.
the newer VR2 one modifies it abit like adding a zoom lock...and moves the ribbon cable that connects to the VR and prevents it from breaking in certain usage.

QUOTE(f5calvin @ Jul 23 2012, 12:39 PM)
btw the website so many nikon sales going..wherreas in lowyat canon is a lil more..
*
so do u use canon or nikon? guess that ends the discussion since we're in nikon thread tongue.gif
