Thanks Mel and Rajamannar. Mel, That Photoflex soft box is nice but I felt with the stand and, all it is working out very expensive (also it is not available...
My D-70 has developed a severe problem. None on my Nikkor AF lenses will work with the camera anymore. The only lense that does work is the 18-70mm 3.5-4.5G DX...
Have you tried cleaning the contacts on the lenses that won't work? ... -- Scott http://www.flickr.com/photos/screaminscott/ [Non-text portions of this message...
Yes, I did inspect and clean all the contacts. It just seems strange that all the D lenses would stop working at the same time but the G lense keeps soldiering...
After a dozen shots my 3-year old SB-800 stops firing. Replaced batteries with no change. My thought that the Flash unit is becoming hot and needs time to...
The SB800 has a thermal switch which disables after too many flashes in rapid succession. Either longer times between shots or reduce power. Sandy ... From:...
IF you are using the 5th battery, Stop. It is over heating the system and shuttting down..... I started using a quantum batter pak and can fire off about 10...
Hi Ashok, Mastering flash exposure (and shadows...) can become a quick and fun trial and error game with a digital camera. You can get very professional...
... Karim and Ashok, I am remiss for not first suggesting this wonderful resource. I too have constructed snoots and grids using matierials at hand. They...
Hi Karim, Yes I am aware of the Strobist blog spot though I haven't used it much. I have heard great things about it and will visit it more often. I agree...
I have a few older flashes from my toher Nikon film camera, including an old Honeywell and a Sunpack. They all fire thru a hot shoe contact, and they all have...
You have to be careful as the "trigger" voltage on older flashes may "fry" the electronics on your camera. Best to meter the voltage before using them. Are you...
... how ... Bill, Yes. You will need a Nikon AS-15 Sync Terminal Adapter (Hot Shoe to PC) to attach the flashes. But the greater question is whether or not...
Hi Bill, I second what has been said here : careful not to fry your D70... I use some old 'dangerous for chips' flashes with a Cactus trigger. The signal is...
Actually, the Honeywell has a separate flash trigger. It has no batteries in it. It only contains the light sensor and a hot shoe to PC terminal used to...
This will date me a bit. But I still have my SB-24 and SB-26 from film days. Even after switching over to digital, I kept both and would use them at times...
Hello all, I have a D90 and an SB600. Yesterday I had gone to a photo exhibition where one Nikon rep was demonstrating the CLS system with two SB900s...
Ashok, Have you downloaded an SB900 manual to see if it references setting ISO? If there is a procedure, then that should pretty much confirm you can set ISO ...
From Moose Paterson... Nikon first introduced TTL (Through The Lens) flash technology in 1980. The basics of TTL operation is rather simple and applies to all...
Ashok, I believe you were given an incorrect answer. From the SB-800 manual: Digital data communication with the SB-800: When the SB-800 is used with cameras...
Hi All, Just a reminder about the January competition on DIMi with a camera bag as prize from Thinktank Photo: http://www.dimagemaker.com/competitions.php We...
Thanks Mel, Dale and Patrick. To confirm, I re-read the manuals (SB600 and SB800) and no where it was written that you need to set ISO on the flash when used...
Ashok, Ignore this information the Nikon rep was either very new at the job or was not a Nikon rep! Its well known and promoted by Nikon reps knowing the CLS...
I read some of the threads on tethering and would like to see if someone will give more detailed instructions. I have downloaded capture NX and Camera Control...
Thanks Paul. I am now convinced that ISO info is automatically transferred! Regards Ashok ________________________________ DISCLAIMER: This email may contain...
The D70 uses a standard USB cable with a mini USB connector on the camera end of the cable. When you are shooting tethered, the images are not stored on the...
Hi All, I've just finished posting the last of the current round of tests of the Lensbaby Composer. There is a normal review, a video review, tests of each...
Just another newbe. I just purchased my first D-70 a few weeks ago. I have two lenses and one body. I changed lenses so often I acquired dust on my sensor. So...
