Pro T bracket with a D200 and MB-D200

[bob_wilson2]

I have a Pro T bracket that I am using with a Nikon D200 with a MB-

D200 grip. I have used this bracket with a Nikon F5 with motor, 1D

and a 1DMKII, and I never had any problems with this bracket. I

purchased the new D200 with the MB-D200 grip and a SB-800 flash. I

was shooting some kids at a wrestling match and when I arrived home

and looked at my work I discovered that I had red eye in my

photographs. This the first time that I have ever gotten red eye

with any cameras that I have been working with and I have been

shooting for more years than I wish to say. I am wondering if

anyone is using this combination and if you are encountering any

problems? I have the bracket up as high as it will go. Any help

would be very much appreciated.

Be sure to check all the other forums you posted with this question.

I have a hunch that you are using prime or fixed-focal-length lenses, or using a zoom at one familiar position, end of the zoom range.

 

Using your D200, you will stand farther from your subjects to get the same framing you learned to like when using your F5. This is because the field of view of your lens(es), when mounted on the D200, is narrower than the field of view of the same lens(es) on your F5. You have to back up to get the pair of wrestlers into the frame.

 

If you are farther from your subjects, you can get redeye even with the flash up on a bracket.

 

Just a hunch.

 

Be well,
