slave flash questions Anonymous
okay /p/ im in a pickle
I use a nikon d50 and yes i know that the built in flash will not trigger the nikon sb600 or sb800 as slave flashes without either a sb800 or su800 as triggers. now with that in mind...
1)Does anybody know how to get a slave flash (any brand)triggered with a d50 without buying any more parts (besides the flash itself)?
2)If not, and I must use one of the above, can the sb800 used not only as a trigger, but as another light source at the same time? (ie would it be worth the extra fifty bucks to have two flashes instead of a flash and a trigger?)

The SB800 can be used as an optical slave, in SU-4 mode. I use it all the time when my faggot ass friends wants me to take a picture of them with their P&S.

I jam their memory cards into my camera. Then I forget to switch it to JPEG and they can't use the file. Doesn't really matter since I hate my friends anyway.

Get pocket wizards.

Ebay actually have some cheap versions of these bad boys.

with pocket wizards, you have to have at least two, correct? one for the camera (transmitter) and one for the flash (reciever)

Kick it old school with a vivitar 285 and a peanut slave.

The newer ones are actually transceivers. You still need two, but you need one for the camera (transceiver) and one for the flash (transceiver). Has the advantage that if you buy a third one, you can use it to trigger a second camera.

what's wrong with the pentax flashes? they look pretty decent.

and you can always go metz. or vivitar 285, if you don't need ttl.
