yes wages in china are disgusting but the topic here is not about them but about the arrogance of the PW prices , and that doesn't have much to do with the cost of the product (how much to make it I mean) between us (nobody is listening) come on ... 400 bucks for 2 PW? the "those idiots will buy'em anyway so let's pump the prices so we make lots of money" attitude may change, soon about the chinese stuff when I saw...

Interfit (who is just an importer), as most Chinese / Korean mfgs use the Bowens S mount what makes it the widest availible platform. AlienBees/WL though use the Balcar mount, noone else. Compatibility amongst brands is pretty restricted if you dig deeper. Elinchrom is the next frequently used mount...by some Indian and Chinese mfg. See e.g. Calumet Genesis.

You are one sick puppy. I did buy the best value for a manual trigger from a respectable source at the time I purchased, CyberSync. I'm happy to place you on my permanent ignor list. You're an irrational and unnecessarily argumentative man.

The SB-800 was retired the day the SB-900 was introduced, so Nikon's idea was obviously to offer the SB-900 as a /replacement/ for the SB-800. The two flashes are about equally powerful (on paper, the SB-800 appears /more/ powerful, but I conjecture that...

I did try that early on and it doesn't work. There are separate menus for internal and external flash. With a non-dedicated flash attached you cannot access either menu. It appears that Canon have really locked this thing down. It...

Personally... I don't like to see limbs chopped...or fingers cut off at the edge of an image. However, some photogs make a name for themselves with that *style* On the last image, the position of her foot makes it look like she has just two toes, not a dainty foot with five. (It's an odd angle). Turn it a bit next time. Were you going for the dry fly-away static charged hair look? If so, you got it. If not... spritz the area with...

Yes, she was standing outside in a relatively shaded area, as was the bride. Lighting was pretty even, as there was no appreciable direct light, comparable to an overcast day. Once flattened, the image as a whole was ran through Lucis Arts, giving it a cartoon appearance. -proudfather
