QUOTE(BurgaFlippinMan @ Jun 9 2007, 10:09 PM) thats in SU-4 mode, which is really a manual slave and is not CLS. With CLS, the flash output is metered via TTL despite being off camera... Does this apply to SB-600? But the flash zoom wont work right? |

QUOTE(AlamakLor @ Jun 9 2007, 11:03 PM) If you want to use Nikon's CLS, you need the SB800 attatched as commander for iTTL to work. The sb 600 can be used as a slave (manual/TTL) but not as a commander. In short, you need at least one SB800 to use CLS, or you can buy the remote TTL commander for almost as much as a used SB800...which i think is lame. Now, I know one benefit of sb-800If you don't want to waste money on nikon's TTL system, go SU-4 with vivitar 285hv (or sunpak), with ebay wireless trigger/pocket wizard.
